Thirteen photos and still I didn't capture what I wanted to

I took thirteen photos trying to capture this exhibit at the Tasmanian Museum of Old and New Art and this is the best of them – which doesn’t say much for the rest. A sheet of water droplets would fall at intervals from the bar at the top. As they fell the droplets formed a word which disappeared as the water neared the bottom.
The water fell at about 3 second intervals. There were a variety of words that appeared, none of which seemed to have any relevance to those coming before or after. I can’t remember what this word was but you can see that the water has formed letters. It was incredibly hard to capture the exact moment when the word was visible. Hence the 13 photos for one lousy image. Oh well, that’s life.

That's pretty good all things considered. When I am looking to get shots of Ally while she's playing I have to set my camera on the feature for action shots, it's the one that lets me take repeated shots at a fast speed. Does your camera have such a setting?

I'll be more organised next time.

If you go again maybe try to video it. Then you could cut the stills out as pictures. But I can make out letters in that one. Just not enough to know what it says

It's very different to most museums I've been in.

You can't capture them all.

It was quite fascinating to watch the words appearing, particularly when they had no connection to each other.
