Description
I had a go at taking some more milk drop photos, I used food colouring this time to make it a bit more interresting. I'm pretty happy with the results but I do think they could have been a lot better, so I will probably do a reshoot soon.First shot I've uploaded from my d200 also.

Cool shot, I'm judging by the EXIF that you either reveresed a prime lens or you used an old 55mm f/2.8 Micro lens or similar?
Great idea with the food colouring, I'm liking the results and it'd be interesting to see what other results it could produce! I can imagine the possibilities/variations could be endless.
I'm surprised you used 1/250th for this actually, I've seen that for this kind of thing most people use a slow shutter and a strobe to catch the droplet... You must have blooy fast reactions! good job!

Thanks man, I used extension tubes for this, they work pretty good and they're really cheap.
Timing isn't really that hard with a bit of practice, once everything is set up you can just shoot away until you get something that looks good, and I'm not really aiming particular effect so a lot of it is just luck.
If you liked this one I've uploaded a couple more from this shoot on my flickr: [link]
Thanks again

Shit me, you got some shit-hot shots in that flickr gallery that's for sure!
Extension tubes are something I've been toying with buying for a while now, certainly cheaper than a macro lens that's for sure! Any idea on how much they affect light transmission / "relative" aperture?
