Description
This capture was complete and total luck.
I do not know how to make these drops actually happen and spread out the way this one did, but I'm sure glad I caught it!
I'd love any constructive criticism anyone has for me out there.
^-^

It made me think too. Obviously about space... xD It just looked like it'd be something floating around out there.

Such wonderful timing. Thanks for taking such a clear pic, even a millisecond later and might of missed it.
I managed to pull a wonderful idea from it. Hope you take a look when its up and posted.
Thank you so much its hard to find things that just scream ideas!

Just a note... it is all mostly luck LOL! But um... yeah, the photo is great. Although you really need a bit more light. It's quite hard to see. Try either setting up more lights around it, or definitely use your flash or buy an external flash

I did use the flash on the camera, but that's about it, excluding the normal kitchen lighting. I do agree it's dark, I was actually pondering that while I was uploading... xD I have this itty bitty external flash, but when I attach it to the camera it won't take the picture and I have no idea what the problem is.
But I'll see about trying to light up my photo's more, thank you for the tips.

Might not be compatible to that camera
Get some of those um... like construction lights. They sell them at Home Depot, and they're about $20 and up... they might work

We do have some pretty huge lights around here... xD And I'm going to try and use those once I get a camera of my own. I just don't want to have to get all that stuff out and then have to return the camera the next day, because it's owned by the local telephone company, I'm just borrowing.
I'm going to try using a tank to put the water in later on too. That way you can see the drops better.

Wow! I've tried a few times to shot something like this but I can't seem to find a correct light setup or timing for the shot to be actually interesting. Could you please give some info on how did you take this picture? I'll be glad to hear your thoughts!

I'll be uploading a picture of the setup I used, so keep a lookout for that to pop up!
My light setup was rather crappy... 
For timing, I really just winged it 
If you have any more questions, or need any tips, feel free to ask me! I'd be glad to help you!

It's good to hear you just used crappy setups. I just have me and my loyal camera to get the job done. I'll be waiting to see your setup and also think of ways to get the best result with my camera.
Thanks again for sharing!

My setup is now uploaded!
And you're welcome!

When a droplet falls into water, it first creates a dip, and when water rushes into it, it overflows and produces a vertical shaft. The water at the end of the shaft stays longer than the rest of it and detaches, leaving a droplet in the air while the shaft retracts back into the water. At the moment the shaft has almost completely retreated is when you often snap pictures.
For this to happen, at the very moment the shaft is extended, a second droplet crashes into the top of it. Depending on how fast the shaft of water is traveling and in which direction, the shape of that plane of water will vary. I've seen shots that look like a trumpet-shaped flower or an umbrella, or, like this one, a table. Experiment with multiple, rapid-succession drops and see what happens

Wow, that's some nice information! Thanks for that.
