[Leica] Playing with Water

[Aram Langhans]

I made a sound trigger for a flash maybe 45 years ago but have not used 
it in probably 40 years.  Stumbled upon it and tried to see if it still 
worked.  A few wire problems and a soldering iron and it mostly works.  
Topic at our camera club next month is moving water, so thought I'd see 
if I could freeze a few drops. Borrowed an old flash with a cable, made 
a few things and got to where it would pick up the sound of a drop on 
aluminum foil (not the best background) far enough away so it would get 
a time delay to show some splash.  Here are preliminary results,

Another pretty good drop.

A few more tight crops

I will have to work on it more.  Maybe milk.  Or maybe paint the foil 
black.  That will have to wait as leaving again for SoCal and 
father-in-law medical appointments.

Comments welcome.
