I'm an electrical engineering student and a photographer. I recently built a high speed camera/flash controller and used it to capture some stellar droplet pictures.

You can see them, along with some information about how I took them here:

Some of you were very helpful when I first started working with high-speed photography, so I just thought I'd pass some of it on!

holy crap that is impressive work! the drop with the earth refraction in it was especially clever I thought.

These are fantastic! Thanks for sharing them, and good luck with your studies.

Bravo! I love the shots! But I like your process even more...amazing you built own circuit board to accomplish this- wha a bright future you have my friend...follow it!

Someday soon somebody will pay you money (big) to do this sort of stuff. Superb efforts!

Yes; the earthdrop is a keeper. Print it. Sell it. Will get you through college.

What a wealth of information and well illustrated site showing your set up to make these great images. Ball park what would it cost to purchase these components? Thanks
