Photo 7 - This is a high-speed shot of a drop of milk into a cup of coffee as it is hit by another drop, i.e. one drop splashes back up then is hit by the next.

This photograph is now available for purchase as a real, hard print. Your choice of framed or canvas print, thanks to Ph.Art Gallery. See my collection on the Ph.Art Gallery website here: http://www.photoartgallery.com/artist/seanlano

I had a dropper above the cup of coffee, and my Metz flash on my Pentax K7 set to manual 1/16th output. The shutter speed is 1/180th, but the scene was dark apart from the light from the flash - meaning that the shutter speed effectively becomes whatever the duration of the flash is. A Xenon flash at low power is only on for about 1/10,000th of a second, so in a way that is the actual exposure time of this photo. Then I used a cable release to trigger the camera on burst mode.
Same technique for Photo 2 and Photo 11.

Thanks for the explanation.
I have never looked into high-speed photography before. But it seems definitely worthwhile. Thanks again.
