    Thanks all, glad you like them.

    soggytoes, I use a system called stopshot. I have an laser beam that when the water drop breaks it it waits a given time (set by me) then triggers the cameras flashes, this is timed so that a second drop collides with the first. It's all done in the dark as the flash needs to freeze the motion. The blue image just catches the second drop hitting the first drop which is on the return.

    I have just received some guar gum, it's a thickening agent which allows more dynamic droplets. So sometime soon I will set it up again.

    Had some baby doves in a hanging basket outside the house:
