Thanks! I Wish I had my 100mm macro still, It would be crazy to get so close it felt as if you were inside the splash.. though it would involve many cleanings of uv filters and many reshots

I'm a bit late to the party, but I've been away visiting family. I've been keen to try this over the last few days, inspired by the good workand inventiveness of those who gave it a go. I finally got my chance tonight. Here are my top three:
1D Mark IV, EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM, 1/250s, f/14, ISO 100, 580 EXII Speedlite @ 1/16 on camera
1D Mark IV, EF 135mm f/2L USM + Extension Tube EF 25 II, 1/300s, f/11, ISO 100, 430 EX Speedlite @ 1/32 left of camera
1D Mark IV, EF 135mm f/2L USM + Extension Tube EF 25 II, 1/300s, f/16, ISO 100, 430 EX Speedlite @ 1/32 left of camera
This was all done in the kitchen sink with a dripping tap and a plain white background. I did a little cropping and exposure adjustment in Lightroom, and used tungsten white balance to get the colour.

Andy,
Very Nice!
I am starting to see how the extra flash sync speed really makes a difference in this type of photography.
Me 1/200, Bob williams and Nick 1/250, and you at 1/300.
I have been shooting RAW in order to change WB for different colors as well.

I stumbled across this today while trying to figure out how to correctly reflect an image into a bubble of water. (with no success)
Bob, any luck?
Kinda looks like he is going to sipp water from a pond.....

I love what you can do with strobes and gels and grids and AAAHHHH!!!! [:#]It has made photography a whole different monster!!!
Cheers,
