Simply stated... water is fascinating stuff, mobile, reflective, transmissive, always interesting to photograph as you have done here, zzzynick ..... and good to eat.

I like the last one, it looks like a frog is leaving the water.

So hard to catch just at the right time. I did a series recently, took about 100 shots to get 3 I liked.

Jim, if you read this, You are not joking about a hundred shots to get 3. I am using a MIOPS splash. I have the unit set on flash, it seems I am always a little late on the shutter. Any advise?

I did it all DIY. No machine just hung a soaked paper towel above a full wine glass and using the flash to make the exposure. I did it on our dinning room table first laying down a white towel then solid white dinner dish then a small wine glass. Backdrop was black. Flash coming in from the right side. Added color in Lightroom. My first set was posted here: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-553183-1.html

Tried a colored jell on flash and did some with milk. I m thinking about asking my wife for the SplashArt MKII kit for Christmas.

Last one looks like an aqua-sloth.

Thanks Jim. I have the gels also, used them on the bottom one. The others I used blue food coloring in the glass and orange in the dropper.

I appreciate the technical skill if not the images themselves. I think there are at least two levels to appreciate a good photo and one is the technical. The other is the ability to present an image with an honest emotion embedded in it and a presentation style that supports that idea. Anyway - Good show on the set of photos here. Well done.
