Some examples oh high-speed photography we did a while ago. I have used 3 Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash units, synchronization was done by hand:-)
Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III camera, manual shooting mode, 1/250 sec, F4.5. Shutter speed does not really matter, as actual flash duration was about 1/3000 sec.
Do you like the result? Let me know if you want to see detailed explanation on how it was done. BTW, most images from this photoshot (and similar ones) I have for sale on my mini-stock site: www.akelphoto.com
Update: Waiting for my Paul C Buff Einstein to arrive, will see if they will be capable to do the similar action freeze.















Hi Alex,
how did you achieve that blueish touch to the liquid?
