[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I think that the time between somone starting to learn photography and the time he/she takes his first droplet pics probably can be expressed as a mathematical formula :P That being said though, I like yours. That first one is the one I like the best. The droplets you linked in the second one are also cool What did you do to take them? Relied on lots of photo's and some luck? or did you have a setup to trigger your flash? -----signature----- I has a flavor! CC always welcome.

	I took some water droplet pics months ago, but never posted any of them because I had some really crappy flashes. I probably took about 100 pics yesterday of the water droplets. I had a really small hole in the plastic bag over the drop pan, so it had a very controlled drop rate. I just set my focus manually, since all the drops landed in the exact same spot, then used an SB-28 flash to bounce off the back card for the reflection in the water, and used a remote trigger. Just sat there timing the drops, and watching the back of the camera to make adjustments. I'd like to get a good setup, but those usually run for several hundred dollars. I'd love to make collision photos like this one... -----signature----- May the bridges I burn light my way Isolated in defiance, I will remain May the bridges I burn light my way I will never comply, I'll forever defy

	that's cool, but not what I was looking for. To get the collision, you gotta have a dropper system that can "spit" out two drops at timed intervals, so the 1st drop goes back up, and the 2nd drop collides. -----signature----- May the bridges I burn light my way Isolated in defiance, I will remain May the bridges I burn light my way I will never comply, I'll forever defy
