EDIT: This shot is now available for print! (I received one request to put this available for printing, so I decided to upload the full res shot, just in case.) :eager:

EDIT 2: Yes, this is really an unmanipulated photo. Post production on this shot is only con/sat boost.

In this shot, blue water and yellow water are spontaneously mixed in an explosion of yellow-greens and blue-greens.

Interestingly, this was the only attempt at this shot set up. Dumb luck right out of the gate.

Glass vessel + dyed water + camera + flashes + my 5 year old + my 3 year old = an interesting experience, to put it mildly. In the end, they ended up being quite helpful. 90 min to do 15 shots with little children involved.

More of my experimental high speed photos here if you're interested.

Such a colorful explosion. Truly unique compared to other splashes of water I have seen. Your timing was perfect capturing such a splash. I love the glow of the glass and the reflection of the glass. The black background was a perfect choice for this image. You really brought out the glowing colors.
I applaud your patients.Taking images like this can be time consuming and aggravating.The crop you chosen was nicely done.
Just enough open space for the water. I love how long the blue splash is. If feels like it could go forever. Clarity is lovely. Seeing each ripple and splash is breath taking.
I really can't point out anything. Overall lovely work!

The lighting is totally amazing on this--I would have guessed photomanipulated if I hadn't read the description.

If I'm honest, I totally got lucky with this shot. Its as if the shot made itself, because there was 30 seconds of foresight and planning, then I just mixed up the colored water and went for it. One take. Looked good on the LCD so I moved on, not thinking at the time that it was particularly great. Later on I was very pleased at the result, though I feel as if it created itself, despite me having done the water pouring!

Thanks...

PS: Lighting on this was one 580EXII with a white reflector on opposite side.

Luck best mixed with a certain amount of foresight, no? :D

Sure thing!
