splash
The prettiest of 50+ attempts at photographing a droplet hitting the water surface. I guess this particular shape ("corona"?) usually either doesn't last very long or doesn't form at all, because it only showed up in the one photo.

Some close-ups of other attempts:

"the blob"


"evil eye"

Doesn't always show i guess... Maybe combination of substance, speed of the drop and height of surface-water?

Wicked. I don't comment much but just wanted to mention I read milov.nl every single day.

Man, you went further on this photo. Amazing! Can I show it on my site?

The blob is insane, excellent. It feels even more interesting than the classic corona pictures.
You will achieve different results by varying the amount of water on the surface and by adjusting the distance from which you drop the water. Also, you probably know Harold E. Edgerton, he might be a great help on your quest.
Still, love the blob.

Hi,
I work for an environmental laboratory and I would like to use your water droplet picture for a water brochure. Is this okay. Please contact me at sarah@alloway.com

Edgerton unfortunately dies a few years ago. I teach high speed photography at my university and photographs of splashes are a classic assignment. You can see some of my efforts at:
