the Flash captures the shot, in this set up i had on my tamron 70-200mm macro, my second goaround at this i used my canon 70200 f4. and got better shots. you really need a flash to do this.

Cool.. thanks much! Any there any specifications regarding the construction of the Mariotte Siphon? Tube diameters, height of placement, etc? I've Googled one, I get lots of diagrams, but no dimensions. Also how do you accomplish a flow of drops from the Mariotte Siphon? My initial model expels a steady stream of water, not drops.

To slow the stream to drops lower the vent tube deeper into the water.

I used a 1/8inch barb fitting in bottom of bottle, and I used the hard tube from inside a windex bottle for vent tube.

Ok..that explains a lot. I used a straw for the vent tube, rather larger diameter than a Windex tube. I did use air line from an aquarium air pump for the exit tube. Which I am guessing wasn't rather ideal. The vent tube is roughly twice the diameter of the exit tube.
