These are some great photos! I made my first attempt at water drops the other day and posted a couple on another thread. These guidelines are really helpful and encouraging, giving me a few new ideas to make a better attempt. I am getting ready to try again.
Patience is definitely needed!!!
A couple of things I tried were setting the cable release to burst (it took a shot every 8 sec. so I could focus on dropping the water. And I used a turkey baster as the dropper. (Didn't have anything else that I could think of using.
