Nice shots! Sharp with dark background.

Did you set up with different liquid? Is there any PS to achieve the tone color?

thanks.. play with water and milk (solid white color) for these shots.. color is achieved using color gel on flash unit, colored papers (as background) and pp in photoshop (color balance)..

thanks.. most of the shots were taken at f/20 1/200 iso100 with flash.. camera on tripod with manual focus.. color paper as background.. plastic bag full of water is hung above a dripping pan.. shots with flash fire to the background paper..
play around with background color, falling height, depth of water in dripping pan, and dripping frequency to get different shapes and effects.. basically trial n error..
