Just trying another water drop shot. I never tried one with my DSLR. My other splash shots were all done with my G2.
I set up my camera on a tripod with a 550EX flash on top. I used my remote shutter release. I set the 10D on mutliple exposures. I could fire off about 5 shots before the flash had to recharge.
The water was in a clear pie pan.
Canon 28-135mm IS set at F22.

I really like how the pattern is reflected in the drops, but the stripes mess with my eyes. Is this water or gel? There are some strange lines at the far right side of the ripples. Is that something solid or just a reflection?
Might be strengthened by a little more contrast in post processing. I think a more interesting approach might have been to clearly skew the stripes to a point in the composition (maybe just rotating the shot to aim more at the corners if you know what I mean). This would just be a different presentation, but it could potentially make this more memorable.
I love the stripes and angle you shot this at. In my opinion this is the best of the bunch from the water shots. Harold Edgerton (the person who first photographed this) would be proud. 10
Exceptionally well done - and not that eay to pull off. It's really too bad that so many people tried the same shot as many voters will let that influence them. But I, for one, will attempt to rate them as individuals! NIce entry.
