It does appear that the sleepless nights have paid off.

Oh, heck, yes. You got it! I like the first one for the colour gradient left-to-right. The reflections in both are excellent as well. Don't be shy, what's the secret? TFS.

iso 100 ; 1/200 (sync speed flashes) ; f14/16

2 flashes with gel behind the drops, but you'll need a diffuser between the drops and the flashes. I used the lid of a trofast IKEA storage box. That lid was actually the key to success.
This is the box.
IKEA | Storage furniture | TROFAST system | TROFAST | Box with lid

By the way, you can use the same box to make a very cheap mini studio. Just place two 500W (or less) lamps (those used in construction) on opposite sides and that's it.

Any other questions ... just message me.

Have fun
