This kind of stuff eludes me, Jeff. Would love to know how to do this. The two colors wonderful together.

As for this shot, the light is provided by three speedlights, set to 1/32 power. Two of them are pointed at a white backdrop, bouncing light back to the glass. Both of these are gelled with yellow gels. The third is set forward enough that a bit of light spills on the front of the drop, but most hits the backdrop. This one is gelled red. The water is colored green and is a mix of about 1 part glycerin and 2 parts cold water (not an exact measure). Water is dropped from a gadget I built that uses an electronically controlled valve. Timing is pure luck, a matter of gauging the timing of pushing the water button and the shutter release. I toss a lot more images than I keep. My keep rate is only about 20% and then only a fraction of those will get worked on. Focusing and DOF can be a challenge, but it's not impossible. If we have time, we can mess with this when y'all are out here in June. Here's another image, using a blue gel.
