This type of photography is a great passion of mine – in fact, for me it’s even more addictive than dpc (and that's saying something ;-)
I don’t use any sound/photogate triggers to get my splash/drop shots. Just good old shutter/finger coordination, patience and shooting sessions lasting for hours at a time. Those of you who do this type of shot will know exactly what I mean.
Anyway, I hope the voters like it.


WOW! Thanks, thanks, thanks to the voters and those who commented. I’ve been a nervous wreck this last week checking my score about a million times a day ;-)

It took a LOT of images and about 5 hours of drip, drip, dripping milk into coffee with a pipette to get this one but it’s been worth it in the end. For the lighting I used a Nikon SB 800 on one side of the coffee and a Metz slave flash on the other. The biggest problem I had (apart from getting the splash in the first place) was getting the coffee colour bright enough without blowing the white of the milk.

It’s around 6a.m. here in Germany and I have a few days off work. Had to set my alarm clock to make sure I didn’t miss roll-over.

Thanks again!
