Liquid Art & droplet photography
It takes great skill (and good high speed photography equipment) to create such frozen-in-time compositions, revealing the inherent energy, the dynamics of flowing water and the beauty of it all! Some artists substitute water with more viscous liquids, producing even more lava-lamp-like effects. But often just playing with coloring and light is enough to make an effective picture. In this article, we will try to cover a large variety of stunning high-speed liquid photography.

Amazingly, water looks simply great without any added coloring, like in these shots from the French photographer

Woke up one morning, saw this thing crawling toward me across the sink... decided to go to sleep some more -
Suspended...
