High speed photo of a splash of water with a puff of air added at the right time. The puff of air caused the hole in the splash.
Setup - custom made sliding table rig with an air valve arrangement off to the right of the photo. The table triggers a delay via a Stop Shot flash trigger, 3 Nikon speedlight flashes are used. One flash is fired from the trigger, two others are set up in slave mode, firing remotely. In this setup, the flashes were gelled red and yellow off to the right and left. One non-gelled flash is set up under the table to fill the background. The two flashes to the right and left were set to 1/8th power, the center flash was set to 1/128th power. This setup uses a single air nozzle off-axis to strike the splash in the front.
