What was I thinking. Of course my tripod reached that high! :-) Unfortunatelly I think I have a defective faucet. I took a few hundred shots the other night and still don't have this down. I experimented w/various shutter speeds and ended up setting it to the fastest. I am handholding a wireless flash for light. I should try using a steady light source. I bet my 12v halogen bike light or my big plant grow and show would work....
