Thank you, Lee. Yes, it is addictive. Once I get going, three or four hours pass and it is 2am. It's fun experimenting with different gels, fluids, camera angles.... cool results! I use MIOPS Splash.

I'm shooting film camera only, seeing this set makes me realize that's it's pretty much impossible for me to do this kind of pictures.

[@rleonbutler1030]

Great way to get your timing down is to take your iPhone slow Motion video and you can slow it down by scrubbing it and find out the exact location of all your drops

[@LeeHallphotography]

Wow I never ever thought about that. That sounds like a plan I really appreciate your help on this as it would definitely be a good way to see what is happening 👌👌👍👍👍

try using olympus cameras with "pro capture" built in. It starts taking 30fps on depressing the shutter release half way and puts them into temporary buffer until you fully depress the shutter button. just make sure you've got your focusing right, together with the right shutter and aperature settings dialed in before you start shooting.

Great video and great images. But who told you to go through my inventory? I own both a SplashArt Kit and the very same color gels 😂 I was a bit surprised when you used the speedlites aimed at the water drops rather than a colored background, as I have been told that you need to light up the background which is then picked up by the water. Perhaps it came out the way it did since it was more opaque.
