This is not photoshopped. It's actually a double exposure of two drops....one before the splash and one of the actual splash. I use a Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon 580EX II Speedlite flash. The background is black plexiglass.

Just like *Katjakay said, the swirl inside the drop gives it the "je ne sais quoi" or in other words, the I don't know how to say it but it's awesome!

Overall, loads of details to look at in this one, like that round drop in the center and its reflection, and so forth.

Well done, Paula

Thank you! I liked the swirl as well. I'm surprised that no one has noticed the one difference about this shot that separates it from the other shots....thought people would pick up on it right away.
I have a few more drop shots that I picked out last night. I will post them in the days to come.

Hm,

I don't know! From the shot structure it looks like the white cookie one. Maybe the zoom length at 300mm?

What is it Paula?

La-Vita-a-Bella In reply to IngoSchobert [2010-01-20 21:46:05 +0000 UTC]

lol! It's double exposed....I accidentally dropped two drops so the flash went off twice....once when the first splash happened and the second when the drop was about to splash. You can see the ghosting effect where the drop and splash intersect.

Is that where I wrote "like that round drop in the center and its reflection"?

No.....the ghosting effect....as in you can see through the splash to the drop because it was double exposed.

La-Vita-a-Bella In reply to AbedArslan86 [2010-01-20 15:24:00 +0000 UTC]

The explanation of how I do this is here [link] The only difference with this one was that I was using "milk" that was already colored rather than putting a drop of food coloring in the puddle.

AWESOME! as always
Could you do one with glow in the dark dye?? That would be hard to do probably but really cool

La-Vita-a-Bella In reply to My-hands-are-bananas [2010-01-20 04:41:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I could use the glow-in-the-dark dye, but when the flash went off, it would no longer be glowing in the dark.
