My first ever attempt at doing something like this!
I got myself a cheap glass pipette with a rubber bulb from the chemist, a bit of food die and a pyrex lunch box, and got cracking.
I did use a remote shutter release so that I can time the release of the drops.
The most challenging thing I found is that I couldn't attach the pipette to anything. as it was quite small and delicate, so my hand would move a bit in and out of the focal plane, so it was bad. But I have designed myself a pipette holder now, next time I must be able to consistently get the drops to be in focus.
Disappointingly, not once did the second drop hit the rebound one and cause the mushroom or umbrella to form, but I learnt later that it needs more control than human hands to achieve that.
So, all in all, I'm quite pleased, I think.
