Anyone using anything specific for these shots? Looking to get a bit deeper into water droplet shots.

Any feedback appreciated.

Cheers,
Mark.

I use a canon EF 100mm for these type of shots. Are you planning to shoot moving water droplets?

I will be using the Tamron f2.8 90mm Di Macro and a Sigma 180mm

I use the Stop Shot equipment:

Expensive but works well.

Now that is a fantastic shot and exactly what I am looking to go for. Until now I have been relying on hand, eye co-ordination, a speedlite and luck.

Thanks Rick,
Are you using one light for these shots? The 580ex MkII? I have the same and am looking to incorporate that with the twin light heads of an MT24EX, reading the manual right now.
