Though I have been experimenting on water drop photography and developed a kit for the same, but I am yet to perfect the shots. I have not been getting the cool shots similar to yours.
I have posted some photographs on my site http://www.wingsofpassion.org. There are some shots of Smoke art as well. Thanks.,

I used high speed sync feature of the flash. By selecting the high speed sync setting, the flash will synch at any shutter speed but its range will fall away dramatically as shutter speed increases.

Thanks for sharing your technique! Mine is posted at http://www.great-photography-tips.com. One question though - if your speed was 1/640, how did you find the flash (which normally will max out at 1/250). I had to bring my speed at or below 1/250.

A true indicator of a dedicated photographer. It’s examples like this that give me inspiration to try new things and experiment in the field of photography. Thanks for the idea and clear direction!

I have to say that is an incredible photograph yopu have produced there. I would love to get into photography although I would never be close to as good as you.

Hi ThierryD,

Appreciate you sharing the small electric circuitry to detect falling drops of water with an infrared barrier.
I am also keenly interested in taking water drop photography and process of developing a kit to make water drop colision photography, low cost.
This is one of the thing I need is to sense the exact time of drop release.

Thanks in advance.

Wow your’s are close to perfect! Having a weekend of bad weather last weekend I had some fun with this. Well not having two flashes, or even one – I had to try something else so I used food coloring to give it a shot. But trying to get the drop in the center of my tiny pot was quite a trick.
It’s funny how the drops seem to know when the shutter is about to happen and speed up just to make sure you don’t capture them.
Well after a few hundred shots a couple were worthy of showing.

Hello
I can speak on this post because I made a detector drops of water for SLR photography.
This small electronic circuitry detects a falling drops of water with an infrared barrier. It can detect extremely small objects but also transparent objects like drops of water.
The electric installation is very easy to achieve.
All details of installation, drawing, explanations and examples of photos are available on my website:
