Sorry about that last post Naytwan, (my wife has just seen it and pointed-out the error of my way's!) it was rude of me to comment on your tap.She really thought your pic was great.
All the best . Phil.

Good first try. If you want some more like the ones in here (http://mrwild.co.nz/Featured/The_Macro_World/index.html) you should use something that'll give you one drop at a time. Also put something reflective and/or colored underneath the bowl to give it color, if you want.

I noticed rigt after I took the shots that the tap was trashed. Hard water :( But I figured I would share anyway. Thanks for the kind words. I need to look into a macro lens now. Oh and it was a combo between timing and burst shooting.

What I like about these is that they are so "normal" - ie real tap dripping not some fancy poster shot!

That's my next. I need to go and get a dropper though. Not much more I can do with a dripping sink, unless I put the color in the bottom of the sink.
