Droplet explosion

I was playing in a friend's studio for getting this. My first attempt at doing something with Nikon camera. To be honest, I didn't feel any guilt and my Canon didn't complain . I took about 200 frames with roughly 70 having droplet in some stage of hitting the rock. Then I combined tree of those for final presentation.
D2x, 70-200, tripod, two studio strobes and lots of exposures.

Interesting technique and impressive result!

Hi if you get chance to do it again try using the multiple exposure future with the creative lighting system.

Ps cool image.

I thought it was a shot of the annual Perseid meteor shower which is supposedly at its best this weekend.

Very unusual.

Very effective Marko!!

I wonder if this type of thing could be set-up outside of a studio enviroment....... maybe in a landscape situation {base of a waterfall, for example }.

By the way, your cave image is a corker!!

Must have involved a lot of thought.

Interesting shot, Marko.

Cool image, maybe would work better with a more interesting object rather than the brown rock thing.

Nice studio and post production technique though.

cheers

Sean

Excellent result

Thanks for your comments, folks .

Next thing that I'm thinking about is "real" cave photo. Now that I know that technique is effective, I'm only waiting to switch to digital and to go under the surface again. On the other hand, I don't expect result to be too different, except that in cave there is more mist in the air, and because of that there will be some more bright dots presented. BDW, Sean that "brown rock thing" is stalagmite I loan from colleague geologist, and this is the usual subject droplets fall onto .

Thank you Alan and Philip for additional suggestions.

Cheers,
Marko
