    That was a good video. I believe beginners are using way more jenky setups lol. I found your video informative and I am going to get some use out of no longer used boom mic stands to attach my water. Getting the drop to fall in the same place without an expensive machine seemed impossible. Thanks again.

    I did my first water drop/splash session using the baggie method, but instead of try to time each shot I just held the shutter button for multiple shots( like a burst method) and got some great photos, also I used only the built in flag as I don’t have separate speed flashes yet. Still worked out great. Nice video thanks for sharing.

    Wow, thanks so much for your hard and precise work. The images at the end were very nice! All of this work teaches you (and us) about one more aspect of photography.

    May want to dial the flash power to 1/128 to really freeze the droplet. May want to set your flash to multi-burst mode & set camera to burst mode

    Thx! I definitely need to get a handle on the flash recharge times. 1/128 would def be my starting point next time!

    would be interesting with differing fluids, like you mentioned. Maybe oil would create a more drastic "bounce/ripple"

    Great low budget setup. I found out if you use a lemon juice bottle. The water will drip out.

    Hi, it was a great video. Can you pls suggest any ideas to create water collision drops using cheap household items rather than a mechanical droper.

    Excellent video is there a flash trigger set that can be used on any camera, I have an old Sony A200 any suggeations?

    Hey Mick, Thx! Hmm, that's a tough one. I believe Sony bought Minolta and had some different hotshoe requirements back in those days. I can't think of any kits specifically that would work out of the box. But you could find a compatible flash that will work directly on top of the camera, then use 2 generic flashes that have Optical Slave mode - a pretty standard feature. This will allow the external/slave flashes to trigger automatically when it see's the flash fire from the one mounted on the camera. I found this site that has a plethora of knowledge that might help out (just ctrl-f a200 on the page) - www.mhohner.de/sony-minolta/faq.php#flash GL!

    Great video However I think your presentation seems a bit too scripted and unnatural in your delivery
