Alas zzzynick, Water humph! I know Lime Jello when I see it. Do teat the J E L L O with respect. It was declared as a living sentient being in the ITS ALIVE ad in 1996.

zzzynick I know beautiful, delicious lime Jello when I see it.... Perhaps #3 shows that it is a living being most clearly....
zzzynick you do beautiful work, thank you for sharing and promoting the rest of us to give it a try. Can you please give us more details on the speeds? Is the lighting perhaps High Speed Sync Flash?

I used a Canon 1D Mark III and a Canon 580 EX II Flash.
A Tamron G2 90 mm macro lens at f/8
A tripod.
And finally, a MIOPS Splash unit.
It was around 125 dollars with the "arm".
Probaly one of the cheapest things I have bought concerning photography
I can control the unit, with a downloaded app on my ipad.
I truly despise cell phones, but you can use a iphone or a android phone.
I tried different speeds, these were at 50/th of sec. ISO 640
Green food coloring in the glass.
The flash and I had issues. I tried both 1st and 2nd curtain.
It seemed to flash to early, leaving me with a perfect picture of a glass of green water.
My wife gave me a light box. It came with 2 led light strips.
I placed them around the glass, and set my MIOPS to camera, and finally got these shots.
It's still a work in progress, there are blown out spots.
I shoot in standard mode. Post production, I amped up the saturation to 15. Vib. about the same.
I cropped to get rid of the blown out spots and tinkered with sliders to try to reduce them
I am a night owl, and do some of my weirdest work late at night.
I am going to try to get better results in the daylight.
I also bought the MIOPS lighting trigger, It has all kinds of differt modes.
As soon as I get the drops figured out,
I ordered about a 1,000 water ballons from Amazon. And will be dropping them into a claw foot bathtub.
I picked up a 10 gallon fish tank. To drop anything I can think of, that will create a cool shot and splash
I'm thinking apples and tennis balls dropped into water kinda things
And I would love to hear anyone's suggestions for more ideas.
Life could take a turn for the strange around here.

dpullem,
The People in Utah are the largest consumers of green jello, in America
I have no idea why I know that. I just just do.

Thank you for the info zzzynick, It will go into my Tutorial file. Presently working on an expansion of my upper floor to use as studio space and will be able to have fun there.
Have you ever notice how when you rinse a spoon the water follows the curve and wets your shirt or worse trousers near the fly!! I took advantage of that and cut and painted a plastic jug to be the background, then put a spoon epoxyed in the bottom and the water the in streaming droplets came upward. Using a flash I was able to capture a few good ones, but not good like yours; then I quit to mop up the kitchen floor.

First off, I would like say thanks for the replies.
Secondly, mine aren’t all that great.
Not yet. Being about 87% ocd, I will not quit until they are.
I have about 1 in ten almost keeper rate.
I need to narrow that down a little.

Halloween creatures. First one is a skinny chicken singing. Second one looks like a green Muppet playing hard rock on a guitar. Third one is a singing walrus. The last is the lights they throw in the air at concerts. Great group here!
