Re: Water Drop Photography DYI

Use Manual focus. I stick a pencil right where the drops are hitting and focus on that, then lock focus and have fun. If you have to use a zip lock bag as it appears I must again. use medical or scotch tape to stop the drip monetarily if you need to. Also as RS mentioned you are shooting a burst of 5 or 6 shots to capture the action.

Re: Water Drop Photography DYI

I was wondering if it could be done also with a camcorder. My thoughts were video it at high speed.

Well I had a quick go and got this a little man



so obviously even at high speed video recording it doesn't work but had to try. Needed a faster shutter speed than had it set at.
so will have to try again
