 Outtake of my setup to get a collision of two drops. I got lucky and got only one . Since it was my last week to play with the speedlights I decided to go for the famous drop shot. Thrilled to get it but wasn't clean enough for basic so I went with the outtake. It was cropped to retain detail. The full frame can be found here
Sent the flash units away but it was fun working with good lighting and look forward to purchasing a set of my own.

Shot today(19th) the same day of rollover but so relieved it wasn't last minute.

-------------------------------

Thanks for the kind comments everyone :)

Haven't had much luck with drop pics so I didn't expect much in the way of scoring , especially in the top10. Glad you all liked it as much. While browsing the results I really eyed another crown drop photo and thought it was way better then I spotted Irene's and thought I was beat for sure :)

Thanks again!

Interesting, I tried something similar and ended up not submitting it. I'm not sure if I like the black on the top and bottom.
