The first few uses a white ceramic dish to hold the water.

Reckon I caught this one just as it hit the water as you can still see the top of the drop.

Freezing the actual drop before impact.

The Big Splash

These were all taken with the flash.
I then changed to an orange plastic bowl for the next shots.

Interesting crater effect.

Another drop frozen in motion. Interesting the way the colors are inverted.

Remember that these were all taken with a point and shoot digital which presented several difficulties over and above one of timing. The worst one had to be focusing. It would have been so much easier if the camera had a manual focusing setting. Still I am pleased with the results.

The FlexSqueeze Theme gives my blog that professional look. I loved it so much that I bought the developers license. It's the easiest most customizable theme I've come across. See how easy it is to change your theme's appearance! Compare it to Thesis to see how much better it is!
I am so thrilled with this theme that I highly recommend you to get your FlexSqueeze theme today!

Tim’s done a few of these series and I know he uses something a little better than a point and shoot digital. The thing is that I wanted to see what I could achieve with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 and so I set up all the equipment I needed in the kitchen sink and these are the results.

This next one almost looks like a penis emerging from a pool of water and perhaps that is a drop of sperm flying through the air.

This next one is unbelievable and definitely my favorite. The water that this apparition emerged from was the most turbulent out of all the photos that I took during this series of photos. Can you see the face in the resulting splash?

No, well perhaps a closeup of the shot is needed.

I showed the photo to my daughter and the first thing she said was that it reminded her of the Virgin Mary. Personally I think that it the features are definitely male and that the person is wearing a veil or something over his or her head. I can just imagine the furor if some religious nut came up with this photo.

So, I would be really interested in knowing what you saw in the photo?
