*splash* *takes picture* *wipes off lens* Well maybe it wasn't quite that simple =D
:phew: This one sure was tricky to get! First of all, I needed a decent background. Wanna know what I used? A box of Nesquik chocolate milk mix. Yes that's right, I used a plastic box of food, which happened to reflect light, which became a problem. The shots were coming out over-exposed so I had to turn the exposure down and lighten the photo in PP9. I simply filled a small glass with water, let the sink slowly drip, and tried to time it just right. The focus and DOF proved to be a whole new world of problems. It would take 10 seconds for it to focus, and it would often miss the middle of the drop, deciding to focus in front of it instead. However, I love working with shallow DOFs, it gives the shot more depth and hey, sometimes I like a challenge ;) Luckily I finally got it, after about 40 shots...but it was worth the work :faint:

_-_-_Full view is HIGHLY recommended_-_-_

Please tell me what you think!
