Splash!

Drop of whole milk splashing into another drop, which is placed on white plexiglas. Several colors of food coloring dye were placed on the target drop immediately before taking the picture (so they didn't have time to mix). Exposure is 3sec at f/7.1 (ISO 100) in a dark room. The moment is captured by a Vivitar 283 external flash at camera left, fired by a delayed infrared phototrigger. (I followed the instructions at www.hiviz.com .) Be careful with these experiments -- you'll end up with milk and food coloring all over your camera!
