    A mix of water and milk drops colliding. Canon 50-D - 100mm - f/16 - 1 sec exp. - ISO 500
    2 Speedlites, one with a blueish gel from behind the dripping pan and one with a red gel on the side. Tons of patience & persistence to get these shapes. Some minor cleanup in PS mostly of sensor dust, basic adjustments & NR applied.

    Susan,this could be one of my all time favorite water drops! Excellent technically and rather unique(at least in my experience)
    Something like this doesn't come easy and your experimentation and hard work has paid off in order to achieve this result. . Beautiful!

    Not sure if this is outer-space-like or amoeba-like but I really love it. The colors are psychadelic and the reflection is perfect. And this is how you actually spell the word: psychedelic. :)

    Definitely the best water drop I've seen. The shape and colors are amazing.

    Susan, these are just amazing and this one is the bomb! I just love the incredible colors and details. You must have the patience of a saint to get these setups to look so great and capture these ephemeral events. Thanks so much for sharing with us!!

    Susan, love the two tones...
    Stunning...what kind of milk did you use? Roughly how much water/milk combo?
    Thank you.

    For this one I used reg. milk. I used to keep notes and measure but soon learned that they were useless due to all the different variables involved. My experience has taught me to see what is going on with the shapes in order for me to make necessary adjustments.

    Therefore I can honestly only say that roughly it was 1/4 part milk.
