Fluid Parasol

[Susan Candelario]

One from my archives that I came across this afternoon. 3 Water drops mixed with milk colliding. Creating the shape of what I perceive to be a parasol. I used 2 Canon strobes with colored gels. f/16 - ISO 400 - 100mm - 1.3sec My basic Raw conversion workflow plus some clean up in PS for a few stragglers and some cloudiness in the pan that was created from the drops.
Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts.

Awesome water drop capture & composition, Susan. What a pattern that unfolded, like the vibrant red color against the blue BG, and reflection puts it over the top! Nice work!

Susan, that is just one amazing collision! The colors and surface iridescence is awesome as is the reflection of the parasol. Outstanding work!

Susan, I'm not sure what impresses me more about the image, the red "parasol" or the reflection of it in the blue water beneath...or the eruption of red from the blue water (the stem of the parasol). Wonderful composition and admirable technique in creating the shot...take a bow! :cheers:

Hi Susan, another amazing waterdrop composition. I know how hard you have worked at calculating the many variables in order to achieve this look. I especially noticed the angle that this was taken in order to get the reflection. Many waterdrop images are taken more parallel to the plane. The color and shape of the splash keep me looking at all the detail. Exceptional job!

This may be my favorite of yours!!! I don't think people got the 3 drops collision part! I know how difficult this is! Outstanding as expected:w3!

[Susan Candelario]

Thanks, Roman! Hope your trip is awesome. I guess I should of explained myself better and said that this is a triple collision.
