Not really. I like taking stills in an unconventional way and love doing anything with splashes so I try different things. I'm playing around with coffee, cookies, lemonade and salsa. I haven't gotten to the shooting part yet, my garage is a mess!
Weren't you supposed to drink the coffee and take a bite out of a cookie first?
As for the mess, using wall to wall plastic sheets seem to work.
Seriously though, great shot.
Are you considering doing a video from start to finish? Or a least, a series group of shots showing first drop to last?
(A suggestion. Using a 4" plastic pipe with eight holes across the length, four on one side, other four on the 90 degree side. Put rubber tubing through from the "back" to the "side" with the pipe in a vertical position. Run your liquids from four containers hidden in the back. It would provide another version of your shot.)

I was experimenting pouring liquids into a fish tank ink. I started with ink then acrylic paint and then colored milk and finally settled on food coloring in heavy cream. Here's the result. Taken in April 2018 with Canon XS and EFS 18-55mm kit lens. I was only shooting jpeg at the time.
Perseverance paid off. Great picture. Just curious. Why the mention of the lens as a "kit lens"? If you were to buy that lens or any other sold with a camera are they inferior to the same lens without being part of a package?

Thanks, that sounds interesting. My set up was very crude. I glued five plastic shot glasses to a board, then poured them with one hand while using a corded shutter release with my other hand. I found that way I could have all the pours come at the same time. I will look in my files for some beginning shots also. Here is my set-up.

I mentioned kit lens because that's what came with the camera. I didn't use a specialty lens or another type lens. Just showing it was done very basically.

Looking at your set up, make a jig straddling the tank on both side so that the bar with the cups can be placed down into it above the tank. The cups can be glued as you have them. Then you can put your color solution in one cup, flip it, photograph it while it is pouring into the tank. Do this with each cup individually, removing the prior cup or rinsing it out. Repeat until all cups are run through. Then in post process, layer each pour onto the shot of the tank as the background, in the spatial sequence. It may prove to be an interesting follow up to your original set up. You can key the bar so that it goes back into the same place.
I can just see your next project. And speaking of project! Catching the color streams as they are projected in an arc over head.
I was going to reference one such idea, but I find that it is no longer there as of 2013. One question I always had was what would happen if the pumps and/or valves fail...
"I enjoy learning and the movies and attractions are interesting
I miss the shooting fountains that were at the old location. Now they just use regular soda machines. The shooting fountains would shoot a drink from across the room and land in the cup."
