This series consists of three photos: Drop Erection, Drop Climax and Drop Implotion (this one).
This picture shows the end of what happens when a drop hits a still water surface: When the water flows back into the impact crater. It's almost impossible to see with the naked eye, but very beautiful when frozen in time like this.
Not as dramatic as the two others in the series, I still think this is the most beautiful.
This is looking inside the mask, where I have built in a half face mask so that it fits the performer's face snuggly. I use a cheap bought plastic mask, cover it with masking tape and then muslin and PVA glue, This strengthens it and gives it a comfy feel. With these masks I added a wide elastic to go around the performer's head inside as well, but its not shown here. Neither is the black gauze put over the eye holes so that people don't see the eyes.
One of the original drop-offs on the lower section of Lion Tamer.
I was riding and shooting alone, so the camera was triggered by a remote taped to my handlebars.. a sound theory, but it turns out that jumping and pushing a button is like rubbbing your tummy and patting your head! On my first attempt at this drop I was so focused on the button I forgot to lift the front end! The most fustrating bit was that the camera didnt even capture me flying over the handlebars!

This comes from my first attempt in water drop collision using StopShot Water Drop Photography Kit. Used just plain water (I'll use milk, or colored liquid next time).
