Gota / Water drop by jborrases

Gota / Water drop

To do this I used a bucket that I filled partially with water, I used a flash bounced to the wall, where I placed a blue card which is what gives the bluish effect to water, then I filled a bag of water I've put a little scotch tape and then I have perforated bag through scotch tape, with a pin for a more or less constant drip. It is important to reinforce with scotch tape the place where you are going to perforate the bag because this can prevent broken that with the consequent mess. With a remote trigger I've been taking photos, estimating when the water drop will reach the bucket. I've taken hundred photographs and this is one that has gone better.

For camera settings I set camera in manual mode (M) setting speed and apperture and flash as remote in TTL mode, letting the camera to master the intensity of light. Also I set camera focus to manual, pre-focusing aided with a pencil in the exact place where every water drop contact with the bucket .
Brilliant water drop, must try it one day. Love it and fav

@roseolivia @andy3168 @claresfp thank you very much. The setting may seem huge but if you try that you'll find that it is funny

A lot of work but you master it perfectly. Very good! Good luck for the weekly theme.

@daneau thank you Marc. This setting can be done at home with no specific technical equipment. There is another approach more scientific that uses a trigger, timer and a intervalometer to get all things sybcronized. Off course with that equipment you get better results than this one. :)
