David Hobby over at Strobist.com posted a tutorial on making water drop photography using a single speedlight last week, and I thought I’d give it a try.  I’ve tried this stuff before with little success, and the tutorial really helped explain why what I had done in the past didn’t work… I highly recommend checking it out if you’re interested in this sort of thing.

Below are a few of the shots I came away with.  You’ll see I used different colored gels on my background to vary the color effect.  This was all done in camera, not Lightroom or Photoshop.
