How do you shoot this kind if photos author.Could you share with us the technique you use.I saw this kind of photos many times but i can't understand how this is done.I guess you used flash, & a solid background but what about the shadows...?You use an external flash & fire it up from the left...?What was the settings on your camera...?Any help would be useful!Great "freeze" of the liquid.

Thanks for the great comments. Like Karaflazz i saw photos like this about a year ago and also puzzled at how it was done, I scaned the net with no luck and spent ages experimenting with milk splashing and flashguns. It was only when i stopped thinking along the normal way a fast photo is taken it all fell into place, The satisfaction i get from each shot is much bigger because i worked the technique out for myself and gained lots more knoledge along the way. The set up is as Karaflazz describes,except the picture is actually upside down,Mug glued to glass and the liquid is falling! Reply »

No sound trigger used, The chocolate didnt make any noise untill it landed! And i shot this outside and cleaned up with the help of a neighbours dog! Reply »
