Just tried out water droplet photography today after obtaining some tips from youtube. Here is the result.

My light source come from two table lamps behind a white sheet.
The vacuum cleaner tube is to hang a punctured plastic bag filled with water. The water droplets from the plastic bag fall into the black bucket below, which is filled to the brim with water.
I used canon 5D markII with a 100mm macro lens. Because the light source isn't that strong, I need to push the ISO up to 5000, so that I can shoot at 1/1000 s and F8.0.

It seems that I should have used an even faster shutter speed because the falling droplet still have some motion blur at 1/1000 s!
