outstanding!

wonderful, how many shots before you got this one?

This isnt quite a tech as it looks, and its much easier to get the timing right than other fast shots i do. Problem with this setup is it takes 5 mins to inbetween shots to put everything back together again. So maybe 2 hours outside in the dark got me 5 or 10 nice shots and 1 or 2 awesome.

perfect !

Ok...that's enough of that! LOL...how are we going to compete with this author if you don't share the ENTIRE story on the set-up ?!? LOL!!! Really great work! definate fav!

Nice work!

is it really falling ?

Thank you all for the kind comments. Yes Lamantine, this pic is upside down! Mug is glued to glass.

awesome shot! I'm still perplexed by the angle though and how you got it to fall like that

Haven't we seen this before? Is it a different shot?

Superb!

My mistake, you have actually went to all that effort again! Great work!

too much effort on this!!wow!

And of course another first place! Congrats

Congrats!

Thank you, this is wonderfull and 150% on theme. it is obvious that there must have been glass here, but you can't see it at all, and the peppers and waterspray are crystal clear. This one will be hard to beat.

Marvelous entry!

awesome........

wonderful shot

outstang shot!!!!

Awesome!!! i thought I might have a chance at this contest until I saw this one...great job!!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Great shot... but I'm pretty sure I've seen this before and not in this contest.

Seen it before - but great shot anyway

this is perfect for the theme!! And a great shot and imagination too. I've seen this before somewhere.

No arguments here. Definitely on theme, although I know who you are from a previous contest: "collisions"

Absolutely Amazing Art......Beautiful work....Perfect on theme.....GL..

no, you saw one very similar, I remember it too........the pepper was a different color.

You are right ade. But I checked and it was not the collisions contest.

Being recognised by style is incredibly flatering. Thank you all for the great comments.

fantastic entry

Thanks ladies. Ade, this is not hdr. I have 1 off camera defused flash at 5ft high to my right to even light on dark side of tractor, also used flash on camera to add extra pop to the tractor.

congrats on your win!

Congrats for another first place, Marksquirrel!

Very cool. I like the lighting and colors. It almost looks like some kind of outer space shot.

oh i forgot...

great, what appature did you use. I just can't get these drop photos.

Thank you so much, Aperture was f/22 !

I just can say congrats for this work. Nice colors, perfect moment, good DOF,......

Hi Author can I ask how high is your dropper? when I try this I cant get the water coming down to hit the water going up. Thanks nice photo

Hi, It was about 16" or 40cm above the suface, out of 1500-2000 shots i got maybe 2 or 3 like this.

simply wonderful...would not know how to begin something like this

Silence is my comment.

awesome shot.

Very cool!

Amazing!!!!!!
I will try one today...or 2000 to get one....ha ha ...or none....It will be difficult I think .."collision of a falling and a rising droplet"....hmmmmm.... Thanks for information and good luck to you!

Author, do you have the exif info for this shot, something as good as this would make a superb subject as a tutorial, for those of us who aspire to learn the techniques required to shoot pics like this.

Outstanding... beautiful shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

simply stunning! fantastic work

I wish I had a camera that could do these kinds of pics... Awesome entry! Definitely one of the best I've seen. The colors are what makes it for me. You don't need it, but good luck!

Congrats for yor first place, Marksquirrel! Your work is really amazing!

Not surprised a bit to see this win. I would love to pick your brain sometime... or at least find out what kind of equipment you use. Congradulations!
