I've seen a few images around of splash photography and its always intrigued me so I thought I'd try my hand at it.

I'm pretty happy with these considering it's my first attempt. If I set up for shots like this again I'll probably try a few different liquids and get a few extra lamps or something to light the area better.

For these shots I only had a desk lamp to the side and the on camera flash with home made diffuser tube fitted.

Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions.

Splash cone?

Moment of impact!
Unfortunately this one's rather noisy but I do love the streaking of the water droplet.

Excellent! You encourage the splasher in all of us!

Not bad for the first time and with the on board flash.
I like the last one best.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Karen, yes it can be tricky just with the on board flash. It's a good challenge for me though until I can afford to buy a decent flash (would help if I stopped finding lenses to buy!)
