Okay, do I even have to say it? Just for the sake of getting it out of my system, I'll say it. THIS PIECE IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL! The bird made of water makes me just want to go with the flow and fly away free! The flower, with the droplets on it, shows that the bird and the flower share a common connection. Bird to Flower, Animals to Plants, all are one and the same. This deviation truly shows the union of nature and all its glorious bounty. Keep up the good art and don't let anyone tell you it's not, cause it is.

Yet another beautiful highspeed shot. The way the water is shaped, it looks, at first glance, to be a bird, flying away from the flower's surface. Then it is an insect coming to land on the flower in search of pollen.

I really love and admire the way you capture a moment, nay rather an instant in time with these photos. I'd love to know how you go about setting them up in order to capture these perfect shots.

The almost black and white feel of the image is not too stark, it's moderated by the hand holding the flower.

Another great image for your collection!

Lovely shot but according to the Camera details it says the speed was 1\800th of a second

Hey, awesome photo, but I'm confused about your saying that you shot it at 1/10,000th of a second, the fastest the 5d goes to is 1/8000, and your camera data on this image says it was shot at 1/800.... confused why you'd need to photograph a splash shot at 1/10,000 even if the camera went that high, 1/800 is plenty, right?

One way to do high speed photography is to leave the shutter open for a longer time (1/800 in this case), and flash the strobes for an extremely brief pulse, like 1/10,000th. When doing any work with strobes, it's actually the flash time that determines the exposure time far more than the shutter speed, particularly in a studio. I can't speak for the artist here, but I assume this is what he has done.

While water (or anything, really) is in motion like that, even at 1/800 you'll still get some blur that can hurt the details. I imagine that it would be half decent at 1/800, but not if you really want any detail on the water or to catch the tiny droplets.
