Assuming the room is very dimly lit, it doesn't matter if the shutter speed is 2 seconds or 20 seconds. The image captured by the cameras sensor is completely black until the flash fires (and then this is only for less than one thousandth of a second).... If he uses a shutter speed of 1 minute without firing the flash then the image captured will still be completely black.
If everything is dark, only during the (very short) duration of the flash, the sensor will be exposed to light, thus giving a frozen image even with a > 2sec. exposure.
@2187191 You are using the flash as your shutter. Flash freezes the frame. 2 second shutter allows the camera shutter to stay up wile the drop is falling so you can time it better.
OH NOES!!! You used a pen to focus!!! You're copying Gavin Huey!!!!! People on YouTube are so stupid.
Good shot man. I'm not sure why you're doing all the 2sec delay, long shutter, and all that...seems like extra work. Could get frustrating. Either way, good stuff, you got some good shots so...either way, it worked!

@bemine014 that sounded wrong didn't it!!? I tried doing this, I was partially successful and my shutter speed was 1/200, f8, and 90mm.
