I have two babies that go to bed around 7, and need to be fed again around 10:30. I also have a wife who goes to bed around 8:30 so that she can be relatively rested after dealing with baby wakeups during the night. This means that from 8:30 until feeding time, I get to play with my camera. Last night, it was water-drop photography, and tonight was dropping-stuff-into-water photography. It’s actually pretty easy to do, so I’m going to do a quick writeup. The important thing here is that the flash(es) provide all the light. Like, ALL the light. And because the flashes fire so, so fast, the shutter speed doesn’ t matter – whatever you’re lighting with the flash will be absolutely frozen because the light is on for such a short time. Pics and writeup after the break
