A WHAT you need most of all are patience, some space for a little studio, a way to focus closely and a flashgun. There are a couple of other minor things that will be handy, but these are the basics. There are lots of great videos on how to do this on YouTube, so I&rsquo;d suggest you take a look &ndash; but it is relatively easy to do without the specialist equipment I&rsquo;ve seen being used. It&rsquo;s best, though not essential, to be able to fire the flashgun off-camera so you can position it as close to the subject as possible.To take my photo, I fixed a sealed freezer bag filled with water above a bowl, then put a pin in it so that it dripped steadily into a bowl that was full to the brim. I set the flashgun on 1/4 power, then manually focused very carefully with a 100mm macro on the point the droplet was hitting the water&rsquo;s surface. With the camera on its fastest sync speed, I then tried to time firing the shutter with the dripping of the water into the bowl.My approach used the absolute basics. You can get dedicated drip kits, but I always think it&rsquo;s worth experimenting with the simplest approach before buying specialist equipment. The other essential piece of equipment I forgot at the start is a towel. You&rsquo;ll definitely get a bit wet playing around with this!
