We recently added a new water set when we opened our second studio last month.

I haven't really had any time since to play and experiment with it and on the one occasion I have I too managed to achieve the same undesired effect that I have heard mentioned before.

I will refer to this image here:

Now... I quite like it for the most part, its almost what I wanted to achieve... however... there is a flaw with it...

If you look closely you will see that the larger water drops look as if they are falling upwards!

This is because of the fall off of the flash when the shutter is still open. (i believe)

While testing this, the sync was played with so basically the flash is firing at the end of the time the shutter is open... but the same thing happened.

Does anyone have any tried and tested method for avoiding this rather gravity defying occurance? (other than not using flash!)
 
The only problem I see with this picture is the amount of clothes in it.

Seriously, though - isn't it a question of the curtain time for the flash - pre- or post- shutter?
