Water Droplet Collision Photography will blow Your Mind! 

Tolle Aufnahmen, ich habe es selber ebenfalls mit dem Miops gemacht. Es ist und bleibt schwierig vom Timing sobald man auch nur eine Kleinigkeit ändert

The patience required to get those beautiful shots just right is impressive. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

Those were incredible. The coolest part is that some very similar shapes seen in the mid-air collisions can also be seen in pictures we have from space telescopes of much bigger, hotter orbs colliding with eachother. Love your stuff, great photography and techniques

Thanks for sharing this incredible amazing video Jens, wow I was blown away 😮

Another stellar video! Appreciate the research and hard work that has gone behind this

Awesome video, Jens 👏👏👏

Mind blown!

Nicely done Jens. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, thank you, I DID learn something interesting today! I capture all my collisions manually by squeezing and eye dropper. But this is incredibly unreliable and my water columns are generally very short. I didn't realize that the taller ones were created with two drops colliding with a third drop. And while I now have this info, I'm likely still not going to be able to produce these beautiful tall collisions because I'm still only manually dropping AND triggering the camera/flash. Ill likely never upgrade to an automatic valve and trigger system due to cost, but also because my ego gets in the way. I take great pride in capturing mine manually, but as I mentioned, they'll never be as majestic as these ones!

Well done and very helpful video!

Beautiful 😍

Thank you for this!

This is really helpful! I have a Miops water kit that has been collecting dust, so this is very inspiring and I appreciate that you went into detail about your settings and the mechanics behind some of this.

Nice! :)

Thanks for the heads up on an interesting diversion from the typical subject matter. Question: You mention several things together here. 1. lowering the output of your flash to decrease the flash duration, 2. increasing your shutter speed to over 1/10,000th of a second - which would put you into HSS if strobes would allow you to sync at speeds over 1/8000. I am assuming you are starting with a black fame. So, question: How are you triggering your flash if your shutter speed is over 1/10,000th of a second? 2. Would the lower power of a stronger flash (i.e. eVolve/Godox AD 200 pro) at 1/256th power (equivalent to shorter than 1/15,000th of a second t0.1) not work with normal sync speed (i.e. 1/200th) - I guess I'm asking what t0.1 is necessary to stop the action of the water with your experiment (in general) and how much power is needed at low settings to achieve that? Make some sense? New photographer just starting my understanding with strobe/flash.

Impressive vid and pics, Jens. Tutorial a plus. Genre is indeed a special corner of photography. Persistence pays off. Your diction in this one is distinctively different - with a bit of British accent, IMO. Special effort clearly used. Works well. BTW, read about heavy snows in part of Germany. Your area? Perhaps time for snowflake photography. Cheers!

Sehr schönes Video. Sieht wirklich nach sehr viel Arbeit aus :)

3:51 where did you get the colorful cards from. Those cards are the prefect size

Just awesome

Lovely 👍👍

Great video. I was just thinking about working with my dropper the other day because it has been a little bit of the last time I used it. How do you clean yours after you use it

Thank you very much for your video, it is very well done. I'm testing with my Miops too. I realized, as you said, that height is important. For information, I realized that the distance of the flash also plays a role in calculating its triggering time. By the way, sorry, I may not have understood, but do you trigger your camera which triggers the flashes? Why don't you do a 2 second exposure with the Flash triggered by the Miops? (that's what I do) Thank you very much.
