Love it! If I only had food coloring I'd give this a shot, but since I don't, for now I'll have to try the water/milk + milk equation. Thanks for the post! You did a great job on the how to instructions as well as the project and photo itself!

Set it to take continuous shots. Take lots of shots. Eventually you'll catch something you like. I did this with water, took 300 pictures, had five keepers. But I'm a noob and struggle with focusing , so you may get more good ones in less shots.

Hi, Is there a way to capture water drops without using flash light?? I dont' have one and i'm yet to convince myself to spend more money for buying an extra speedlight.

Thanks
Sunil

This was manually focused.

I have seen tutorials on how to get water drops WITHOUT a flash, but have not had any success with them.
