I'm assuming you dripped the liquid on the peg to get this effect?

there is no peg... that's all water!

Well then surely there's sorcery or witchcraft involved! A witch a witch!!! Burn you!!!!

Can you please share the details of the setup and the wizardry to achieve this wonderful shot?

I use a Stop Shot for the timing, along with an electronically controlled water valve. Lighting is done with a few Yongnuo YN-560 strobes. The drop tank for this shot was roughly 12"x24"x1".

Hope that helps...

For those who do not know what you are looking at this is two water drops colliding head-on. The first drop hits the surface of the water in a tank, the splash bounces upward and collides with a second drop coming down. The Stop Shot gear allows of precise timing of the events, but there is always an element of randomness as each collision manifests slightly different results. The trick is to work with the elements you can control as an artist to try and capture something beautiful. Jim is extremely good at this in the colors he uses, the angles he shoots, as well as the drop sizes and timing he dials in.

Thanks buddy! Sometimes I take for granted that everyone has seen these type of shots before...

Yes, me too. When you take 100's maybe 1,000's it's hard to remember most people have never seen them. Keep up the good work, love to see your creativity on these. Good inspiration.
