I was inspired by a thread on the Digital Photography School forums on capturing water droplets. After seeing some of the results I had to give it a try. Using a blue cup in the bathroom sink and my new macro lens adapters onto my Tamron 18-200 I was able to obtain a decent shot. It turned out to be more about chance than skill. I took about 20 shots and got about 4 keepers. One thing I learnt from this exercise is how handy an external flash would be. This would allow me to experiment with high speed flash photography.
