Here's my try (water drops/splash) 56K be warned

[PachelbelsCanon350D]

I didn't look through the viewfinder except to focus initially, I just sat and tapped my foot to the sound of the drops and got into a rhythm and there was the occasional photo with nothing but still water in the frame.

And that pretty much sums up how it goes when you shoot droplets. If you have a remote shutter release, you have more control, because then you can just figure out your own rhythm of when your right hand releases drops and your left hand clicks the shutter. I think I only took 20 shots and 3 of them turned out pretty good.

With my new lens I'm totally trying some more this weekend, and better lighting now too.

Your drippy faucet idea works great for those without a remote!
