My God man, where are you?????? I need your advice oh mighty mentor of falling drops! #:oP I tried to shoot that falling waterdrop yesterday, but out of 200+ shots these were the only ones that actually contained some kind of drop or impact. It was alot harder than i thought it would be....not so good with multi-tasking, so trying to hold the shutter down while aiming those drops wasnt easy at all. And it turns out i cant take sequential (???) shots with my remote...sigh. What shutterspeed do you guys normally take these kinds of shots with? I managed to yank mine up to 1/1600 s with two 500W halogen lights lighting the "scene". I never bothered with the ISO though...hmmmm...come to think of it i might have had that set to either Auto or 50...no wonder some came out dark huh? And the heat radiating from those lights...OMG!!! Wasnt easy at all. Any pointers youd like to share? Thank God i was lucky enough to capture that icicle-drop that i uploaded yesterday though. It totally compensated this poor first attempt. #:oP

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?
