Been playing with Water Drops for ages and this happened C & C Welcome

[Dubaiian]

Not sure what to say, I am awestruck, was taking the standard water drop photos and one came out like this. This is NOT photoshopped, I can share the pre-PP RAW if you want to improve it .

Hope u like it; lots of technical issues, but I think the moment captured is incredible

[Dubaiian]

Thanks macpro, I still cant believe I got it.

 

[BlackDog's]

WOW! Love that!

You probably had the flash on high-speed sync, and it uses a series of high-speed pulses to syncronize with the partly open shutter. You see one flash, but the drops are each illuminated by the the rapid flickers, giving you the trails.

without a doubt your shutter speed was at that perfect setting Very cool shot.

 

[GeorgieGirl]

Good for you!!!

This sounds about right. I'd never thought of trying to use HSS flash to give a strobed effect on a fast moving subject.

Neither did I, but the effect is really neat. I'm going to thank Dubaiian for discovering a new use of HSS. Some experimenting is in order.
