Yes
I'm doing some water droplets as we speak but I'm not really sure where I should be placing my flash, it is on a chord so can't be to far away.

Any help appreciated.

When Ive done water drops I had the flash on the right about 2ft away, my first attempts were with the on board flash which worked well, this was my first set up Heath Robinson Style :lol: the plastic bag has a small hole pinprick in the bottom corner for the water to drip through, Hope that helps :thumbs:

Thanks Dave. Iv been doing it in my kitchen sink with no tripods and using the drip from the tap. Only issue I'm having is the flash as I don't know where to place it

Under the bowl I'm using?
Firing flash on top of the bowl?
Firing flash at the hoody I have as my background?
 
I don't have any photo's of my set up as I'm not as efficient as Dave :lol: but when I've done it I have has the camera set up with the flash to the right of the camera at a 45 degree angle to the subject compared to the subject :)

Here's one of mine :)

Ok thanks will try it.

What settings did you use for your ones?

Settings are on the border of the drop shot at the bottom that John used, I used F11 ISO100, manual mode cant remember the shutter be something like 1/200sec though I would think

I'm loving some of these droplet shots. It's something I've never tried before but would like to give it a go now that I've seen the wonderful possibilities.

I particularly love the colours in Dave's initial post to this thread.
