Day 43 - water drop

I've wanted to try my hand at a water drop photo for quite a while and finally got around to it today.  As a result, I've got a new found respect for anyone that regularly produces beautiful work like this.

Here's my effort:


Considering how difficult it is to coordinate this, even when the flashes recycle quick enough to allow continuous shooting (only 2.5 fps on the D50), anyone who gets it spot on is either highly dexterous, extremely patient, or possibly just jammy.

Strobist: YN460-II and Sigma 530 DG Super on about 1/16.  One flash to each side, bounced off red and yellow card, respectively.  I used a third sheet of green card as the background.
