Great shots, you have all got my mind working overtime now, thanks again :clap:

That is absolutely fantastic, I'm definitely going to try this, many thanks

I've set up a tripod on the table with a sandwich bag full of coloured water dripping into a tray. Getting the right focus is challenging me at the moment

Thanks, just got set up for water drops and now I want to do smoke
