I saw this pic at other forum...how did you shoot it...for this angle you will need to be on helicopter or top of light tower

Was on a floodlight tower!

Nice try with compact camera.
90° clockwise rorate could look better to me,

Thinking of doing star trail over a year. Hoping I would get an opportunity to go to a remote area to try this, but it's not happening. So I am testing now, soon will try that whole arc shape trail.

seriously ??

No. Kidding. I was on a 50th floor of a building.

 

[sujoyp]

thats nice medico...you got the perfect shot

 

[izzikio_rage]

[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION] that's a very pretty shot. I'm assuming that you are using CHDK for taking these sequential shots and then joining in startrails. If not then use the amazing involtmeter script

Also, try it from the roof of a building, there you can aim for the horizon and less stuff will get in the way. Try taking these shots for over an hour, with the script you can just leave the camera and come back for it. That long a time will give you the curve that you want

I am planning splash/drop photography too ...on a better level bought a medical dropper (the thing which is used for saline) ..here is the link for people interested
The Comprehensive Water Drop Photography Guide - DIY Photography

The arrangement seems very complex You also have an option of Separating Funnel

 

[sujoyp]

no kaz arrangement is simple ...put the flash behind the transluscent background ....put camera on manual focus...aperture f10-14 shutter speed 1/250 at 1/16 or 1/32 power ....need macro lens or zoom lens to focus close ....most important thing the water drop should consistently fall on same place

 

[abhidev]

here's something for the ones with point and shoot

The Photographer: How to capture a water droplet

 

[kaz]

[MENTION=39722]sujoyp[/MENTION] that's why I thought of separating funnel because it will be sturdy, fixed and also water will drop for much longer....
BTW I don't have any external flash bt I will try this after my exams end (exams on 29th, 2nd, 4th, 19th and 22nd)

 

[sujoyp]

hmm external flash+wireless trigger is needed here....but its fun...try with simpler setup
