Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in my home studio in Cleveland Ohio.

Time

Lighting

Drops are frozen in camera not by shutter speed but by short flash duration. The flash for this shot was at 1/128th power. I used three flashes one directed at the background, and one at he left and the right.

Equipment

Canon 100 mm. macro 2.8

Inspiration

Electric Light Orchestra's Time album cover has a similar drop image with the ELO emblem inside the drop

Editing

Just in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Canon 5Dsr body, Canon 35-70 2.8, 16-35 2.8, Sigma 50 mm. 1.4 Canon 600 EX rt

Feedback

I used a timing device called the "Time machine" by Mumford. The Drip Kit. There is a E book I would recommend by Corrie White on water drip photography. Everything you need to know to get started.
