While exploring decaying industrial surfaces, this particular pattern caught my eye. The vibrant yellow paint peeling away to reveal a deep blue underneath created an almost cosmic visual effect. By shooting in macro, I wanted to elevate this simple deteriorating surface into an abstract artwork, where the natural process of decay becomes a form of artistic expression. The cracking patterns remind me of aerial views of landscapes or abstract expressionist paintings. My goal was to capture the inherent beauty in imperfection and the way time transforms ordinary surfaces into extraordinary compositions.

This is my first upload with a drop triggered by The Time Machine using this set-up

Thank you all for your comments and support. I can't get away from these.
Miden pocos milímetros, pero me parecen espectaculares y hasta graciosas. Estas pequeñajas son auténticas máquinas de caza sin telaraña, saltan sobre su presa.
Mesuren pocs mil·límetres, però em semblen espectaculars i fins a gracioses. Aquestes menudetes són autèntiques màquines de caça sense teranyina, salten sobre la seua presa.
They measure a few millimeters, but I find them spectacular and even funny. These little ones are real hunting machines without a web, they jump on their prey.

Update - March 15, 2013: These set-ups are very out-dated. I have just finished an Ebook - The Ultimate Guide to Water Drop Photography. The link to purchase is on my Facebook Page. It is very detailed from beginner to advanced.

As promised, this is a larger look at my set-up. This particular splash you see in the pan is in the first comment box. I already have a similar image in my "How it's Done" set, but this one shows the actual splash. I live in an old house and in this corner of the basement I can leave it set like this and it won't get disturbed. It's also nice and warm in the cold months.
Behind the frosted glass are two flash guns - a Speedlite 430 ex II and a Speedlite 580 ex II.
Update: I recently bought a second 580 ex II, so my set-up quite often has the two 580's side by side to cover the whole area of the water surface much better and the 430 ex II moves around for different lighting effects.
To take this picture I used my old Rebel xTi on the same exposure at 0.5 seconds as the 50D taking the splash shot,. I used the in-camera flash for fill, set the timer to 5 seconds and triggered the Time Machine to sync with this. Doing this allowed me to capture the splash.
I should mention that having a Drip Kit and Time Machine doesn't guarantee you'll get amazing splashes. It takes time to learn the settings and to recognize the various stages of a splash.
This is The Time Machine home page. This Time Machine is very versatile and the Drip Kit is only one of it's many functions. On this page you will find many links to the various features of this machine.

Le poids d’un souffle.
Et un passager minuscule.

A vast world within a few centimeters.
The silence of an iris.
The weight of a breath.
And one tiny passenger.
An ethereal portrayal of a Bird of Paradise flower (Strelitzia reginae) captured in graceful motion. The vibrant orange petals appear to flutter like wings against a lush green backdrop—blending the boundaries between botanical beauty and abstract art.
Happy Macro Monday :-D

Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves :-) !

by request: in a dark room, i use an infrared sensor to shoot the flashes. That´s why the time of exposure is 5 seconds.
This was just a test shot to see if my Speedlites were in sync. They are, and it produced a strange splash with a drop sinking right through the column and another one on it's way through. I just used a roasting pan with water and dropped skim milk into it.
I left this one a bit larger to see the weirdness.
