In the ongoing saga of the 'Bored Photographer Chronicles' I've been developing ever-more complex assortments of gear for my water-drop images. Today I was experimenting with double drops, the goal being to have one ice-cub making a splash in the glass, and one still in the air. This of course means separation is required in dropping, so, how best to accomplish this?
Starting off with this rig, and my standard single-drop tube, I found there was no way to accomplish what I wanted, so...
Get another piece of tube out of the plumbing scraps box and three 3" finishing nails and drag out the MiG...
Now I have a two-stage release mechanism....
Put the bottom nail in, drop in the first "ice cube", insert the second nail and then drop in the second ice-cube. This gives me a nice 2-3" separation. So, in 5-10,000 frames I should be able to get the image I want.
What sort of things have you bodged together to create an image?
