One of the easier shots to accomplish. You can do these without any special timing equipment. This particular shot is using heavy cream (lightly colored blue) being dropped onto a piece of black glass. In order to get the crown, a 'primer' drop is necessary in the landing zone. I added 3 drops of food coloring to the outer edges of the primer drop (red, yellow, and purple), this adds the color.

That's an amazing shot. Have to agree with Russ though....

How many flashes and what aperture do you use?

I have a total of 8 strobes, but was using 6 of them for this shot. Aperture was set to F/22.

Thanks!
