Drops of Jupiter (Explored)

5 questions about this photo:

Q1. What equipment did you use?
Canon 5D Mark II + Canon 100mm Macro f/2.8 Lens + 2 soft boxes + white painted water tank + custom made water dropper.

Q2. What settings did you have on your camera?
Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200), Aperture: f/16.0, ISO 200

Q3. What software did you use during the post-production?
RAW5 and Photoshop CS4

Q4. What is the subject of the photo?
Waterdrops are one my favorite subjects especially when they are in motion, I believe it gives any photo some sort of life in it. I chose the title based on a song I really like "Drops of Jupiter" By "Train".

Q5. How did you come up with the idea of this shot?
Well, there are a lot of photographs that include water drops and splashes, so i can't really say it's an original idea, but as I said I love those kinds of shots.

Extra Q: Please share an interesting or funny fact that happened while working on this photograph.
Photos of splashes are always funny, lol, and i think the funniest part yet tiring is the amount of mess caused during the process of getting the best shot. When the session is finished, looking at the studio setup is more than enough to crack the hell out of anyone.
