The setup

Thanks for all your kind comments and faves yesterday. ;-)

I just thought that some of you might be interested to see the setup for doing the water drop shots..

The laptop is compiling the program of current settings and uploading the result to the Arduino board which (along with all those wires) detects the shutter opening, waits a second or so for the camera to settle then sends the signal to the solenoid (attached to the washing-up liquid bottle) to open and close 3 times in quick succession then wait about 180 millisecs before sending a pulse to fire the two flashguns (on 1/16 power for shorter duration).

Makes for a fairly dull shot I know..

Just in case you're interested in the actual splash you can see here, here it is. Not the best and needing some work..
