Splish, Splash, Splosh. Water Droplet Photography.

I ran a water droplet photography session for my local Camera Club the other evening, and it seemed to go down with members quite well.

I used my old Splashart MKII water drop controller (which no longer seems to be made), and my Canon 80D along with Sigma 105 f/2.8 Macro lens and a flashgun.

I’d have hoped to have let other club members have a go, but the water drop controller used a Canon style remote release jack, which doesn’t fit Nikon DSLRs. I’m unsure if adaptors are available?

What fun! Thanks for sharing! Made my stressful and unrewarding two weeks!

Some Nikon DSLRs use a circular 10-pin connector, some use a rectangular connector (8-pin?). There are third party remote release devices out there and I have seen at least one (Hähnel Captur) that came with connector cables for the two Nikon types. Alas, those cables had a male jack plug for the remote, you need an adapter for the two male jacks as well. You should be able to find a female-female connector for connecting two male jack pins. This link should point you to one of the kind https://www.musicngear.com/sssnake-minijack-connector
