A how the sausage was made post [View all]

Thanks for all the support!

Nikon Z8, Nikkor Z 180-600 w/2x TC @1200mm, 1/1000sec, f/18, ISO 2000

This is my birdbath dripper. As long as the water in the bath is disturbed, mosquitos will not lay their eggs, so this is a fresh water dripper. I was about 15 feet away, and took two 8 shot bursts covering two drip sequences. The first missed the drip completely. The second sequence is what you see here. This is what it looked like in the viewfinder when the drop formed, through to complete drip. I was intrigued by the difference between the last two shots as the surface tension collapsed and gravity took hold, almost missed the grand finale.
