    No. This is NOT PHOTOGRAPHY. For me, this is JEWELRY MAKING, and you are the MASTER. I am sure I am your biggest fan.
    Your patience and creativity is a motivation Adam.

    For anyone out there having trouble using a pen/pencil to focus or just having trouble getting your focal point at all you can try what I did as an alternative. Instead of using a pencil, pen, or similar object to get your focus, cut a piece of string and tape it to the dropper right where the water would be dripping from and let it dangle down into the water and get your focus that way. Nice to have options :) and awesome tutorial!

    Hi Adam, another great video, I've had some great success with water drop collisions, but finding it difficult to get the actual collision to focus from front to rear. I'm using a good macro lens, and my setup is very similar to yours, I've tried various F-stops , and the water stem is always in focus. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Keep these videos coming!! Thanks.

    Why do macro photographers all seem to hate specular highlights? I love them myself. It gives it a glossy smooth look.
    BTW you don't need a macro lens. Many lenses have a close focusing distance such as the 24-105 L which is perfectly adequate. Even if you can't get close you can always use a crop camera or crop in post if you have the megapixels. And Topaz works wonders on water to sharpen it up

    I´m quite advanced in drop-fotography. I already have a dedicated system for my setup: Search "Glimpsecatcher" and you will find a guy from Luxembourgh called Claude who professionally built this units for highspeed.
    I´m always recommending a longe macro such as a 150/180 mm lens with f/2.8 or f/3.5 to avoid water splashes on the front of your lens. Due to the fact that the action is freezed by the flash light itself it´s not necessary to use a 1/200 or 1/250 exposure. The flash will do the work for you. Try to avoid over 1/8 of your flash´s power ratio. Good luck !

    so beautiful ! most of people use 1-2 sec exposure in a dark room. is it possible that remaining open so long time, we are sure to get the right instant when flashes trigger while at 1/200sec you could be offset ? 1/200sec is 5msec opening while waterdorp takes 200msec to drop and fire the speedlites. I agree it works in your case but i just wondered...

    My question is drop size. Are both drops the same size? Do you find a larger drop works better for rebound or smaller? And if the 2 drops are different sizes which one is larger. I have the Pluto trigger and Pluto water dropper. I have only taken a few shots with it so far but like the results. You tips are invaluable!!

      @Firstmanphotography  6 років тому +1

      Hi. You can check my review of the printer here. ua-cam.com/video/8icsJbVVHYE/v-deo.html
      The main benefit over the 100s is the chroma optimizer ink. It coats the paper and adds an extra level of quality.
      The 10s also comes with the Canon Print Studio plug in which is very nice. The 100 doesn't have this.

I know there are no markings but perhaps you could use a 360 degree clock face with 12 o’clock being 0 as a guide. Or even a photo of the positions of the dials. I have ordered a machine and I’m waiting delivery. Thanks in advance.

    • @Firstmanphotography
      @Firstmanphotography  6 років тому

      Some flash guns can be bought very cheaply on the used market. The key is to be able to fire them of the camera. Wireless flash triggers are now pretty cheap and can be picked up for under £40. The flashes from Nikon will obviously be best but the range from YONGNUO is also now pretty decent. Appreciate the comment. Thanks

    Hi Adam, yours are the best water drop videos on UA-cam. Have you tried the Miops splash yet? I've got one on the way so I'm hoping it will be good. David.

    I hate to be a stick in the mud, but you removed the light stripe on the upper part of the vertical column, but left the stripe on the lower part. I’m watching to learn and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I’m a bit of a detail junkie and pick up on some of the little things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and please don’t take this as a slight.

    Another great video Adam.
    Just wondering if you`ve ever tried to get the very tall jets to create a 3 x collision, if so have you had any success.
