95 Jan 25 Reply No assistant BTW. I focused on the center of the cup before I poked the bag and then adjusted the bag position to be sure it dripped in the center of the cup. The drops are too fast to focus when they start Jan 24th
95 Jan 25 Comment I didn't have to try a lot of different settings. I used a remote so I was faster at shooting. I hung a baggie with water tinged with milk from a clamp on the stand I usually put my big reflector on. I had one flash on the right side, and a device on my camera to trigger the flash with each shot. However I got a lot of black photos because the flash couldn't recycle as fast as I was shooting. I poked a tiny hole in the bag with a needle and it dripped constantly so I was able to time it after a few tries. I put the cup you see in the photo in an empty large glass bowl it caught the overflow. Hope that helps. I would like to know if there is something I can do to make my flash work faster? If anyone knows. Jan 24th
95 Jan 25 Comment They are very similar. I like the one you posted more as it is softer in the splash/bowl part but both are nice. I like the colors. Squeezing a wet towel sounds hard to time. I used a baggie and once I had it hung from the stand that usually holds a reflector I put a tiny hole in the bottom with a needle. That left my hands free to work the camera and adjust things.

95 Jan 25 Comment Very nice detail including the daisy and the bug. Might look nice cropped as a closeup of part of the daisy and all of the insect. Jan 6th
95 Jan 25 Comment This is a really weird plant! Nice focus stack of it though. Not sure what you cloned. I would have guessed the slightly out of focus hairs/thorns in the upper left but that wouldn't have been on the edge so maybe not. Deep colors too. Jan 6th
95 Jan 25 Comment I assumed it was a flower but perhaps not. Beautiful lighting. Jan 6th
95 Jan 25 Comment Thanks. I struggled with whether to leave that tiny drop in or not. It's not sharp so probably better left out. The light is all from one flash and I took all the photos te same way so it must be reflected off the left rim of the glass. Jan 6th
