A droplet of milk at the moment of impact. The swirl was a by product of a few attempts and me stirring the milk into the red base. C&C most welcome. Click for larger

great capture

Nice shot!
Gos 'spin' on the other droplet shots. Saw the original, were you using a high ISO?

No, but my camera will only sync to 1/250 with the flash, so I was limited to what I wanted to do. I would have liked to have used 1/1000th. Still the moment is there, and to get the shot like it is was pretty lucky. So I will take it.

nice ...very nice

Perhaps I should have put this image in a separate thread. As with the other image. A droplet of milk in a bowl. C&C most welcome.

Nice shot, welcome captured.

I fixed the first shot which looked a little flat (I forgot to change it from Adobe RGB to SRGB). Should be better now.

As long as you eliminate ambient light from influencing the exposure, by using a smallish aperture and a fairly low light level, the shutter speed is irrelevant in this sort of shot - the exposure duration is governed solely by the flash duration - hence the effect you see.

To get a better "hit rate" you could look into making a simple sound trigger - I think Jaycar might have a kit.

Cheers

I figured it all out by the end. The bowl shot was a 10 second exposure.
