Paint Bucket - from MegaPhotography.com

The photo above shows drops of paint splashing back up after falling back into the container. Since the drops were in motion while this picture was taken, the photographer needed to adjust his camera to overcome this very minor inconvenience. One of the more obvious adjustments made to the camera involved the F-Stop settings, since the depth of field is fairly shallow that means that the F-Stop setting was lowered. In the end, the photographer was able to accomplish beautiful stop motion at the slight cost of having a shallow depth of field. Job well done photographer.
