Hello,
first of all thanks for the comment
well, to capture "the right moment" is almost impossible on this situation. Be prepared to have a lot of fail photos. hihi
I set my camera to take 10 photos in a row, it doesn't let me ask me for more, and just fire it away.
It takes a bit of time since I don't have a external flash trigger and so it fires when my camera internal flash fires, which has a long refresh time.
This are my first attempts at this kind of photography but to give you an example: yesterday I spent the whole day shooting... In about 350 shots... 65 made my good photos folder and about 100 were delete right on sight.

was this in a purple container or something?
its amazing.
my only tip is that using flash with water is always good for these kind of shots.

Hi
No, I used a little water tank. The purple comes from a sheet of paper on the back.
I used an external flash to illuminate the sheet and reflect the colour to the water and also illuminate it.
