Thank you so much
What do you want to know about it?
It's just plain water captured at the right moment, a bag with a holographic pattern in the background and a lot of light...

It sounds pretty simple and yet awesome!
Did you use the normal camera flash or maybe an external unit? And the shutter speed must have been above 1/200 to catch a perfect neat splash, right?
Sorry about the questions, I'm way too curious because I love this kind of shots 
Thanks for your time and for sharing this, it's inspiring!

I've looked at the original file now and this is the technical info:
Camera Data
Model: Canon EOS 550D
Shutter Speed: 1/200 second
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Aperture: F/10
I think I used 2 speed-lights for this shot one at the background and one at the water. The shutter speed isn't all that important when you use flashes. It's the flash that freezes the image. So a flash with a short burn time is more important than a camera with a short shutter time. This works best in low lighting.
To get the timing just right I use StopShot from Cognisys. It's a device that can control the camera, flashes and the water valves with extreme precision down to the 1000'nds of a second.
My set up looks something like this:

This is much better than a tutorial for me!
Plus, this StopShot device looks perfect for the kind of shots I would like to do... unfortunately it sounds quite expensive as well, but maybe one day I'll be able to afford it 
Thank you SO much for sharing

This is really cool. (: Do you drop anything into the water to make it form such a shape?

Thank you
It's two drop colliding. The first one pulls the surface water up and the second drop smashes into it. Kaposh!
