I wanted to experiment with shutter speed and capture some water drops. I wasn't too successful. It takes a lot of light to operate at high shutter speeds. I could have used a flash, but I thought that would confound the lesson that I was trying to learn.
Oh, well, this site isn't called 365 masterpieces.
I've never managed to do this with a tap/faucet as I can't light it properly - if you see the rigs that people are using to get these pictures they are using separate flash rigs and quite often drip machines
