I find doing water drop photography like this to be a mix of studio photography, macro, and action photography, as it combines elements of both and is a great way to learn and perfect different techniques. To get the colors right and lighting how I want it, I have to understand where to place my lights and how to best use my flash. For the macro side of things, it's about trying to get very small objects sharp and in focus in the right spots. For the action side of things, it's all about timing and being able to get the right shot at the right time. If you have the time, all it really takes is a kitchen sink and some patience; it's a great low-pressure way to practice some really eye-catching photography.
