This movie is made out of 200 seperate photos of 200 individual falling waterdrops. Each photo is a new waterdrop falling down from the watervalve of the waterdrop device. The flash is triggered 1 millisecond later for each picture and therefore showing what happens with a waterdrop falling into a bucket of water. You see some flaws in the movie where waterdrops suddenly seem to go up a little. That is caused by the inaccuracy of the

Ever wanted to know how to make spectaculair photo’s of (water)drops? It’s less difficult than you might expect. This article will describe how to make those photo’s yourself.

Update: You might want to look at my DIY waterdrop device

You need some tools and equipment to get started:

  • dSLR (a compact camera is more difficult due to the shutter lag);
  • off camera flash like i.e. a SB-26;
  • some way to trigger the off camera flash device, i.e. a Cactus wireless flash trigger;
  • a tripod to mount your camera on;
  • preferably a remote trigger solution;
  • piece of background paper, this will determine the color and details in the drops;
  • something to hold the water;
  • something that can drop a drop of water so now and then.

Now you are ready to go.

My flash photography setup

I’ve been looking around to start with some flash photography. The Nikon SB-900 Flash is the flash I wanted to have after watching Joe McNally’s DVD about this device and what you can do with it. Unfortunately it has it’s high price and I’m completely unexperience with flash photography so I’ve been searching for a little more low budget approach.

I managed to get some accessoiries together with which I want to get started on flash photography.

First I got a rather old Philips P32GTC Flash, which has no hotshoe connection, but it does have an external connection that I can use. The flash has 3 settings, 1/4, 1/2 and full power so it didn’t take much time to get to know the flash itself. Because this flash has a sync voltage of about 300 volts, I can’t connect it directly to my D5000 hotshoe.

I’m using a Cactus wireless flash trigger v4 to wirelessly trigger the Philips flash. This accessoiry contains a transmitter to connect to the hotshoe of the camera and a receiver which can be connected by using a hotshoe or using several types of cables to the PC Sync of the flash. One transmitter can trigger an unlimited amount of receivers. The ‘Cactus’ can handle sync voltages up to 300 volts.
