Hi John,
Thank you for your very informative and kind comments. As it happens I read a tutorial about this last night saying excatly the same thing. Seems I've been going about it all back to front. Typical. (haha) Anyway, I will certainly try again. I'll get it right eventually.:)

Very nice Ann. A comment if I may on technique. You say you use a high shutter speed. Its been my experience that shutter speed can be anything IF all the light comes from the flash. If room light is subdued then all the light comes from the flash which is verrry brief and should stop motion. I once used a lab flash that was good to 1 millionth of second and we just opened the shutter and let the flash stop the motion. I have not tried to get collisions. I do know that the height of the rebounding water surface depends on how deep the water is. Very shallow puddles don't seem to rise up but rather splash out. In any case please feel proud of some wonderful images in your portfolio. - John B

thanks so much for taking time Ann, really appreciate. When you say very fast shutter... about 1/250 or faster than that???

Hi Jacques. Thank you for your kind comments and the interest in my shots. I use the Canon 430EX on a light stand, connected to the camera with a a flash cord. I use the camera on manual and set a very fast shutter speed and a very small apeture, which is why I'm having underexposure problems. I just need to bring more light onto the setup. Getting the drops to collide is a bit hit and miss, so to speak, (haha), but it helps if you can support the dropper on a solid frame so the drops fall in the same place. That's also essential for focusing. I then just squeeze the bulb on the dropper a bit harder to make the drops come out quicker and hope for the best. I use a large meat baster for larger drops. I also use milk with food colouring. One, because I like the colours you can make, and two because the drops are heavier and slower. Hope this helps.:)

very nice capture once again, a real great serie today Ann.
What kind of flash do you use for those pictures???
how do you make the collision with the two drops?

I like this so much better than the multi colored ones. This formed the best shape also.
