Tried using baby lotion for the medium instead of water.

Hiya Rw2,

Great shot, don't think me rude but the only thing I'd do here is straighten the shot ( Horizon ) finishes it of nicely IMHO.

Cheers for now

Like the shot and using baby lotion is a great idea.

Great capture, RW2! Can you elaborate a bit on your setup?

Here is my setup. I palced a turkey baster (gives larger drops) on the self. It is clamped inplace so my drop hits the same spot every time. In the one photo you can see a screw. It is used to focus on the spot that the drop hits. After I get the drop to hit in this spot and I have focused on it I remove the screw. I squeeze the baster until the drop starts falling then use my remote switch to fire the camera.

The pudding cup has a piece of a dorito bag taped to it for color.

You say baby lotion. Do you really mean baby oil? Lotion just doesn't make sense to me.
