When Water Drops Collide
...you get crystal mushrooms and water umbrellas.
For those of you who inquired, I use an electric water valve to make these pictures. Using an electronic circuit, I pulse the valve open twice, with a small time delay (about 90 milliseconds) between the two pulses. The first resulting drop hits the water in a dish below, shooting a water drop upward. The second drop collides with the first drop a short distance above the dish. I use an optical sensor to trigger the shutter and flash to capture the moment. The dripping repeats every few seconds and I capture about 30 to 40 pictures this way automatically.
I will shamelessly pose in the background while the shutter fires in order to make the background look all the more "fascinating." ;-P

Fore!
Why do they yell that on a golf course anyway?
I got a new Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash and I had to try out the stroboscopic feature. I'd like to use this for some nature photography, but I tried it out first on a common golf ball. Take a closer look at the details!

Splish Splash
I love the very first stage of a water drop splash... you know, when it still looks like a crown.
Taken with:
Canon EOS 5D
Sigma EX 105mm Macro
2x close-up filter
Quantaray QTB-9500A flash (very outdated)
Infra-red "camera-trap-gizmo" I built to auto-trigger the shutter
