For the non Flickr viewers, here is some of the recent stuff I am proud of, droplet-wise :)

I swear I'm never going to get bored of the droplets... :thinking:

Crop's rubbish :|






This one below is using the double exposure technique for one photo. Still not perfected it yet, but I have bought a strobe light and am having a play.



Another mexican hat:



And... some non-collisions! Shock horror.

It's about 90% water, 10% milk, and red/yellow food dye to make it orange :) Thanks!

Superb Ash, last shot is a bit nice :):
I have given up for the moment in trying to get a collision.
Coronets are quite good, nice colors.

Thanks Allan :) Just been talking to another person who hasn't succeeded with the collisions as of yet, just need the right set up I think :)

With the left over liquids from that one above, I got these just 30 mins ago:

All outstanding Ash, are you going to enter one into the comp this month? You know you should.

See my past couple of threads :) There is quite extensive explanation in there, as well as set up shots.

Basically, it's like this: Have a base liquid in a tray. Set up a constant drip rate at which it is just below the rate at which the water forms a constant stream. This is about the rate you need.

Hold a jug into the flow so that non is going onto the tray of liquid below. Then, quickly remove the jug, allowing a couple of droplets to fall into the liquid. Press the shutter at the right time and hopefully you'll catch the collision. Takes a lot of photos to do it.

Also note: do it in a darkened room, using only the flash to illuminate. Set the flash to its lowest power (quickest flash). F16 will give you a good DOF, and ISO 100 will allow cropping down without losing quality.

It will work with any combination of water/milk.

PM me if you're really interested and can't get any (y)

FYI:

The set up pics for the crowns:
