Week 30 - Drop splash

I wish I had an assistant. It was very difficult for me to take this photo by myself. I kept the glass, filled with water, inside my lightbox. The light was kept behind the glass, pointing the background. A towel was kept around the glass to absorb the water which spills out during the photo shoot. I had another cup with water and a spoon, to drop the water droplets into the glass. In the camera, I used manual focus and a shutter speed of 1/500s. Held the camera in my right hand and kept the camera at a distance such that the glass was in focus. On my left hand, took the spoon with a little water and kept it above the glass. Pressed the shutter button halfway, dropped the water from the spoon and finally pressed the shutter in full at the instance the water from the spoon hit the water in the glass.

I could have taken it much better if there was someone to help me.
