Here I show you a little experimenting.
The goal was to record the exact moment of the drop from the tap hitting the surface of the water below, and especially the reverting effect it has on that surface.
I had to do this with a bucket in the sink in my kitchen, and the camera, mounted on a tripod, aproximately a meter away. The lens I was using is a 70-300mm tele-macro.
It took a while before the results were to my liking, making me conclude that it's not as simple as it looks like. Not as one would expect at first. Absolutely no point-and-shoot here... Well anyway, enjoy!
