For this week’sShooting Challenge , we ’ve bring in a especial guest judge . Martin Waugh is not only a master of catching piddle drops in flying ; he ’s frequently - labeled the discoverer of the “ drop hit ” shot .
We did n’t always agree on our darling , but that ’s what makes this week ’s results so much sport . So with no further fuss :
Lead Shot—Wilson Pick
drive with a Canon 550D with a Sigma 50 mm lens mount on a tripod .
A glass of water was placed on a fateful control surface so to not reflect light upwards , with a black tshirt as backcloth . take in full sunshine with the screen background fish so it was shaded to make it darker .
take a mesa spoon of milk and started pour , voila .
Shutter : 1/2500
Aperture : F5.6
ISO : 400

Shot with a Canon 5D Mk II at 58 mm 1/200 f22 ISO 200 . I desire to produce something a bit surreal , so I put a helical notebook under a clear glass baking dish replete with 1/2 column inch of piss . It was illuminated with an off camera flare pose at 1/4 major power . I rest my right hand hold the pencil on the border of the baking dish , whilst holding a plastic dish meet with urine dripping precariously close to all the electronic equipment in my remaining hand . The camera was triggered by my right foot from a remote trigger pose on the ground . This was my first clock time trying to shoot a water drop and it took about 500 tries .

I tried to capture a arrant water droplet pre - splash . I fill the flash off of the photographic camera using an ettl - cord , and pointed it into the swallow hole . The termination was distinct setting lighting behind the weewee drop , and an even crisper , brighter reflection in the water drop .

My daughter and I equilibrise a juicy plastic pipe bowl filled with body of water between two chairs and placed the flash under the bowl pointing up . Then we dripped drops of Grenadine into the stadium and test to time the shutter to coincide with the drop wallop time .

[ Waugh : Good exercise of “ bright - field ” inflammation to highlight the boundary of the water with a dark rim . And the bright elemental colors mirthfully counterpoint with the sinister and white subject . ]

The technique is simple 🙂 We have one fall that falls in water and rebounds and the second is come down hit the first . You havea linkfor a lilliputian example .
nikon d90 at 2 second with f:16 , 2 extraneous metz fanfare connected to a gadget that control the timing . so the flash will freeze the instant .
[ Waugh : practiced gaining control of a drop collision . Very nice astuteness of field and the degree of nidus is well - opt . The color resist out nicely against the white-haired background . ]
-Silviu Bondari
This urine drop cloth dig was created by take up a casserole knockout with water and then shoot droplet from the kitchen spigot so I could easy control the flow and timing of the droplets . I used a tripod - jump on Nikon D90 with an AF Zoom - Nikkor 35 - 70 mm f/2.8D lens and an extraneous Nikon SB-600 . The split second was recoil off two red and blue composition of paper to distort the water . focalize was done manually . This was one of 300 picture show taken over a period of an hour .
picture information ( manual photograph ): 1/125 2nd , f16 , ISO 200 , 70 mm focal length . flash bulb exposure : 1/16 power .

The Photo itself is called “ … With Milk River ? ” and have a small milk drop in a cup of deep brown .
It was shot using a Pentax K20D with the DA 55 - 300 f4.0 - 5.8 ED , using a Metz 48 AF-1
as a hard worker flash from the side .
I set up the camera as follow :
1/160sec , f11 , ISO-400 , Internal Flash -2EV , Metz +3EV
I used a small styropor board with ashen newspaper glued on it to maintain the bloodless desktop . Now I do up the Metz at precisely +3EV as a Optical Slave Flash and put it on a bunch of books , on the left side of the loving cup . The Internal Flash must be set at about -2EV , it should n’t take any kind of power to light the ikon . After a bit of examination , I found that the drop of milk , come down off from about 50 atomic number 96 over the loving cup , made the best results .

WINNER – Waugh
Black casserole bowling ball fill with water . A icteric placemat hang up behind the bowl . pullulate with a Canon Rebel XS using a kit lens ( 28 - 105 , f3.5 - 4.5 ) . With the tv camera a few inches above the pipe bowl & as faithful as possible ( minimum focal point range is like 18 inch i think ) , I zoomed in as much as possible , and open up the aperture as large as potential . Turned on the flash & set it to fastest shutter speeding that I could ( which is only list as 200 with the flare on , but I ’m guessing the flash continuance ’s shorter than that , and there was almost no other lighting on in the way … ) . Kept ISO at 400 to invalidate too much dissonance . Set the timekeeper to 2 seconds and used a H2O dropper … repetition …
[ Waugh : A classic splash geological formation ( this stage in the drop living - rhythm is often call the “ spike ” ) . The use of electronegative space fluff the centre and lets the ripples counterpoint against the undisturbed surface . And the choice of vividness echoes the smooth undulation . ]
