Freezing action

Using a fast shutter freezes action. For this shot I used 1/125 sec and F16 to give the image a deep 'depth of field'.

For the setup of this shot, I filled a sandwich bag with blackcurrant juice and pierced a hole in it to create a constant, uniform drip. This made it easy to know when to take the pictures.

I used to a flashgun to light this shot and a lamp on the right side to help create shadows and definition.
