Colorful Chaos

            Capturing this moment was pretty special I think. It shows us the energy in the explosion of the first droplet popping back up and then being impacted by a send, larger drop to create this wild goblet sort-of thing that I captured in this one fleeting moment. 
I use a combo of a long exposure and a quick bust of light from a Speedlite positions just off to the right front corner of the frame. 

Each one of these images is absolutely different as I am manually releasing the milky, colored, water and triggering the flash. I love to look closely at the interactions of the water from the reservoir and the milky water combine and make the streaks in the splash.
A lot of times I just miss the splash and many of my shots have nothing in them, but every once in a while, I get lucky and something special happens!

One thing I did learn in all of this splashing about, check your lens. I had to digitally clean up the dark blobs of the water that splashed and got onto my lens. LOL! 

Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens.
