Have you ever photographed a waterdrop splash? At our Waterdrop Splash Photo Op you will see a number of Nora Peek's waterdrop splash photographs showing multi-colored backgrounds and designs reflecting in the water. Her waterdrops are unlike any you've seen before. You will have an opportunity to learn Nora's method firsthand. Her husband, Tom, has a technique to help you get your timing just right. Bring your camera and flash, your tripod, and your patience. You're guaranteed to come away with an exciting photograph of a waterdrop splash. It has been said: "Waterdrops are like snowflakes; no two are alike."
