The story
I love to make photos, and on the internet I saw somebody making pictures of exploding balloons by means of a sound sensor. I wanted to make pictures of falling water droplets, by means of a laser and phototransistor.
Together with my son I made a construction to make pictures of falling water droplets by means of a pipette. The pictures below are from water droplets falling into a bowl of water:
The next pictures are droplets falling on a glass surface:
I coloured some of the droplets with waterpaint .
Next photos are the hardware:
As you can see on the photo of the complete board, next to the red leds is the potentiometer. With the potentiometer you can set the delay from 0 - 400 mS.
As soon as the phototransistor detects a droplet, the delay starts and then the relay is switched on , to activate the camera remote shutter and flash.
With some error and trial to determine the delay, you can make nice pictures.
