Here are a couple from an afternoon with a Speedlite and a homemade drip system. The last is a seal with a beach ball!

I like them. The good thing with this sort of stuff is that you never know what you will get.

Yeah just dumb luck once you get the lighting.

Very cool! Looks like fun as well as being rewarding. Thanks for posting.

Very nice OriginalCyn. Looks like everyone is getting on the bandwagon lately. My latest setup uses a lower angle with the flash behind the drop through a diffusion screen. Trying to release a stream of drops at 7 - 10 per second and shoot a 10 shot burst. makes for an occasional interesting collision. Good stuff keep it up.

Great shots! I've seen a few images similar to these in photo magazines and have always found them quite interesting. We have all seen water droplets falling into a puddle, or bowl, or whatever, but very few have 'seen' what actually takes place at the moment of impact, or immediately thereafter. Your photos have nicely captured that split second in time and given us a view we would have otherwise missed.
How did you get the different color images? Colored gels for your flash? Colored bowls?

No colored bowls or gels the receptacle was a black paint tray. The flash was aimed at the back drop which I taped different colored paper on blue, orange, red, blueish/purple. I just kept experimenting. Thanks for your comments.
Thank

I definitely like to see that! Can you (or did you) post?

Yes I did. It's under "New Setup..drops and collisions"

Thank you for the reply and information. Aaaah, I should have known it was colored backgrounds. Thanks for setting me straight on that. I will keep that in mind if (most likely 'when') I decide to give this avenue of photography a try.
Once, again, great work on these images. Thanks for sharing.
