Edge Bleed

My most recent work in High Speed Water Drop Collisions.

This shot is a glycol collision shot with a drop of red food coloring in the drop zone. This is the very beginning of a crown, just before it would form.

Clever and visually pleasing.

Very interesting.
I love your flick river set, lots of awesome shots.

wow. that is fantastic! from what did you drop the drops? a bag? a helper?
your flickr acct is quite varied! You used so many different colors!
did you use an arduino to time this?

Nice capture, good lighting too.

Very rich colors. A flawless shot.

I use a Stop Shot for timing, and an electronic valve. These shots (crowns) are achievable without all that special equipment. When I first started out I was using an eye dropper, and timing everything manually. It's pretty hard to get a multi-drop collision in this way, but crowns are fairly easy. You'll want to mount the eye dropper to something that doesn't move so the drop will be in the same place. Basically, you do everything in a dimly lit area. Lock the shutter on the camera open for a second or two. Then drop your drop, and fire the flash manually. You will to set the flash in manual mode for best results.
