| I've seen some very nice stop action photos that use water droplets as the subject. How is this done? I have a camera with full manual capabilities so I should be able to control aperture, shutter speed, focus, etc. as needed. |

If you are photographing moving water droplets, the manual mode is nice, but shutter priority usually works very well also. Just go to shutter priority mode and use 1/500" or faster. Firing the flash will also help in cases like THIS. For this photo, I used shutter priority at 1/1000". When I set the camera up this way, my LCD was practically black. It tries to estimate what your exposure will look like, but it can't take the flash into account. There are other good examples in the STOPPED MOTION challenge in the archived challenges here at DPC. You can go look at those photos and see the shutter / aperture settings for most of them...

I wrote a little something in the comments section of my "Faucet" photo for the Black and White challenge.
Watch out! When you learn how to do this, it quickly becomes addictive, because you can do it any time of the day and night, with no special equipment and the results are always unique.
There are also some drop pictures on my website here
(I hope the link works!)

yellow, those are some great shots! I haven't bothered to try this yet but I have thought about it :) I think I'll pass on this subject. I doubt I would have the patience that it takes to do this :) Good work!

Thanks Liana,
I tried it and it works ... I'll keep this knowledge tucked away for a "Rainy Day".
