Fully manual - shutter, aperture, focus(make a dummy focusing object - AF focus - lock change to manual). fast shutter speed 1/200~up, F8~up, zoom lens 100~200mm(to avoid reflection), continuous low/high speed shooting mode (defend on the speed of your water drop, later chose the best shot), 2 external light (can use study lamp but not fluorescent, bulb or halogen will do) you can also put color diffuser to add color on water & camera on tripod. let the water source drop - continuous shooting...note flashgun can't sync to the speed of shutter & driver you need a continuous light.

PANNING

On manual, set your camera to a very slow shutter speed, somewhere below 60 (maganda ata ung 15 and below) then adjust mo na lang ung aperture. or u can use the shutter priority feature of your DSLR. it is suggested that you use a tripod for this but you can also try doing it with your hands. so what you do is you look through your cam and follow the movement of the vehicle. once you click the shutter release, don't stop following the movement of the vehicle until the shutter closes. and voila! panning shot ^^ shutter priority , continuous servo and like what he said, "Glide-able Waist, Sturdy Arms, Knees and Legs" :)

Photo 101: LONG TRAILS STREET

Tips on how to get better with long exposures at night. 1) always use a tripod to eliminate unwanted blur and camera shake. 2) use a low ISO like 100 or 200 to eliminate grain. 3) use a small opening like f16 or f22 for additional sharpness and deeper depth of field. 4) bracket for time exposure at 5, 10, 20, 40 secs. 5) shoot from a high vantage point or shoot from a low one or shoot head-on with incoming lights. Don't settle for the ordinary eye-level shots. Enjoy!
