I got an idea over the weekend to try something different. I set this up quick, and got some interesting shots. I just used a glass pie pan filled with water and trickled water into it while taking shots.
I used a single halogen garage lamp and a blue cloth under the pan. I found the cloth helped reflect light back up, allowing for faster shutter speeds.
Two lamps (I have a twin lamp halogen garage lamp but one bulb is burned out), and something more reflective underneat may let me speed things up a bit more and get some better shots. I'm ready to try again - this was kind of luck of the draw the way I did it, and I think I can get some more cool shots.
Anyway...here's some water drop shots:
