Water Drops Colliding

[Susan Candelario]

Hi:
I have been a member of this wonderful site since its inception and this is my first post.
This image is an actual collision of two water drops dripped into a 2" pool of water.
Specs are as follows:
Canon EOS MIII body
Canon 100mm lens
1/250 sec @ f/22
2 Canon 580 Speedlite strobes, set in manual mode at 1/64. A blue and red gel filter.
Basic adjustments to the RAW file, slight crop and flipped horizontally.
Your c/c are welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks,
Susan

Susan-Great first post!! I love the colors and composition -The action you captured is terrific! I'm so happy you chose this forum for your first post-really nice work and hope you continue posting!

Hi Susan...All I can say is that this is one impressive image. From the lighting, stop action, droplets and even the placement of the dominant splash is superb. Another unusual feature is the oval shape the splash created giving it a look somewhat out of the norm. Technically, this is a very difficult image image to capture and you did it masterfully. Well done!!

Big Warm Welcome Susan Glad you decided to get your feet wet and post .... and what a post !!!

Just love the image ... the water drop collision on its own would be one cool image but with the colors presented just takes it over the top !!! Big Congrats !!!!

Fabulous action, detail and colours.

Absolutely an amazing image!

It would actually be interesting to see an image of your "studio" setup creating/capturing this moment.

What do you mean you "flipped" horizontally?

I thank you for the warm welcome and all of the comments. I really appreciate them very much.

It would actually be interesting to see an image of your "studio" setup creating/capturing this moment. I do not have an image at the moment. I never thought of photographing my setup, but will do so the next time I set up to photograph water drops.

What do you mean you "flipped" horizontally? In PS I used the transform tool to flip the image.

Susan, Wonderful image!
The colors are striking, and the frozen action just excellent.
THis is basically the same set-up I use to freeze hummingbird wings, and you've given me some great ideas here! Thanks!
Cheers -
