Splash! Droplets of water and milk photographed by Corrie White using a macro lens

These images have caused a splash—they capture the moment when a tiny droplet of milk hits water. Photographer Corrie White spends hours firing the coloured droplets at the water from a pipette suspended 12 inches above.

That’s the spirit to do things. Inventive that can become creative and beautiful! ~ RYD

The technique used to create this photograph was pioneered by Harold Edgerton, a MIT prof. He used a strobe light to freeze time and capture fast-moving objects.

Follow the external links on the wikipedia page to see some of his early photographs.

P.S. The video biography may be disappointing to some because it actually a hagiography... no criticism... dégueulasse !
