That might be kinda fun, dress up like a Ninja and go shooting....... I think I am a little to chubby to fool anyone into thinking Im a Ninja though.........

You were shooting these with the 70*200? Awesome! Inspiring! I must learn this. It might help pass the time while I wait for these gray skies to go GO GO!
Well done. I love the blue/green one and the red/yellow one just beneath it, most.
I tried to get somebody else to post some shots like these a couple weeks ago, but didn't have any luck. Little did I know I could have asked you instead!
Amazing look and colors, very cool!
How did you time the shots? Did you use some kind of a trigger mech? Is the lighting natural light or are you using flash? Seems like you'd either need flash or really bright lighting...

A stool over the pan with a modified water bottle to make the drip drip drips
2 AB-800, one side lighting, the other reflecting on a wall behind the stool
the color comes from behind the water and is a reflection on the water
the timing you get used to, you watch the drips and press the shutter right as it hits the water, its easy to catch it at the right time, but you only get a "cool" looking drip every once in a bit.

the 7th picture was a keeper, your odds of getting a keeper increase as you go along. just play around with the lighting and using different materials for color and patterns.
This video will show you one technique you can use to get this type of shot.
The technology involved is pretty simple, and based on what DL just said, apparently you can ignore the whole timing circuit thing with a bit of practice, at least for the single drops.
Now don't let the "simple" part fool you. After all, getting into the major leauges is also simple. Just consistently hit a baseball with a stick, and hit for over 400 feet. Explaining it is simple, actually doing it, and doing it well, is another story.
Geez Bob, I watched Time Warp for over an hour. I had never even heard of the show. Now I am subscribed. It was way to easy to get lost watching that stuff.
Thanks, I think.
I love TimeWarp. It's even better if you watch it in High Def on a big screen TV.
For those of you who haven't heard of it, TimeWarp is a show where they shoot all kind of stuff with high speed cameras. The water drop one is the only one I can recall that was actually about photography. Still, the high speed footage is way cool, no matter what they're filming. They've done things like skateboarders, breaking bottles, karate chops, and lots more. Great stuff!
We used all sorts of materials to create the color, from an beach kite, skirts, the wall... the basic concept is that the water will pick up whatever color is behind it... the color comes from reflection, not really the color of the light...
