That is brilliant. Well caught.
Dare I ask how many attempts it took?

Did you you any 'fancy' lighting or just skilful speedlight use?

2 speedlites, 1 on the left pointing down roughly 45 degree angle, 1 on the right just above level.

Cracking shot mate really do like this.
Hope you don't mind but it reminds me of an old mate who did the 52 as well as this.

No worries, I have scrolled through in the past, some great stuff in there, I need to dream up some more ideas.

Lovely shot Gav and inspires me to try it.

So I'm guessing lots of light and very fast shutter speed, camera on timer, aim - fire, and expect an awful lot of failures !

2 flashes (1 is enough but does cause heavy shadows)
1/200 (fastest flash sync speed) the flash freezes the moment, more important than the SS.
Focus on the drop point with 'f' number to cover area.
Has for failures, yes, LOTS!!

Only 215 !.. think I have around 6 that may be workable

I do use a waterdrop timer kit which helps with the timing, it can be done without, but fail rate gets higher still!
