Boring Shot

I keep trying to try shots with water and a pellet and here is why I don't think I will ever get a good shot.

 

The beautiful water patterns of falling water become a blast of mist when the pellet hits. The water is milliseconds and the the pellet is microseconds.

 

There were some beautiful photos published recently where the target was a water drop. I liked the photos a lot, but saw that the pellet had to be going much slower than a "typical" pellet. When I contacted the photographer, he verified that the pellet was about 100fps rather than this pellet which is going at about 800fps.

 

I will keep playing with the idea, but am dubious that I can get it to work.
