Another Stop Motion!

Quick Activity:
Question: How could you capture motion in the air using water droplets? 
Materials: Use a brightly lit area, plain coloured backdrop, large clear glass of water and some cloths to clear up water which has dripped over the edges with a tripod for your camera so the camera doesn't shake, creating a blurry image when task is completed.

What aperture would you use? Large or small?
What shutter speed would you use? Faster or slow?

Here is an great example in how to execute this activity successfully, using a fast shutter speed of 1/125 to keep the smooth texture to the water, yet freeze motion in the air along with a aperture of f/8 to capture the depth of the screen and glass. (Photo taken by Mark Dando):
