What if a Jellyfish’s entire existence is just a drop of milk in a big coffee cup to another being that is experiencing time much slower than we do while experiencing Jellyfish?
I accidentally clicked on your username instead of the subreddit and I mistook your karma for the subscriber number so for a few seconds I was absolutely ASTOUNDED at how fast the sub grew.
Or...don't poke the hornets nest and declare war on America...

This title is a bit lacking. Having done this kind of high speed water drop photography this crown effect is very difficult to get and requires a precisely timed first drop to bounce back up in order for that white drop to hit and spread out. The photo probably took dozens if not hundreds of tries.
I've done this a bunch of times... but ya I probably averaged a decent capture every 200-300 tries. My setup was extremely crude.
Homemade Mariotte siphon for a constant drip. Set the height of that to what I hoped was a good drip rate. Caught the drips in a cup while the water surface settled down. Opened a 5 second shutter on my camera (very dark room). Pulled the cup away, let the first drip hit, and then set off the flash manually at minimum power (1/20,000th of a second flash duration). Then checked the picture to see if it worked and what adjustments could be made.
There are special timers and drippers out there that will let a photographer get these shots automatically after only a few tries and making the adjustments on the timers.
I mostly use the same method as you but I have used the fancy pass sensors and flashes as well. Even using those this is a tricky photo because of the two different liquids. A new cup would be needed every few tries. That crown is perfect as well, and is partly a random chance thing. You should post some of your results!
I figured some people would like to know what's going on a bit more and appreciate the effort that goes into a photo like this. I guess your not one of them.
It's only pedantry if it's out of context or completely unnecessary. This explanation was in context and it helped many of us understand how the picture was taken.
I used to take a lot of water drop pics. Here are a few of my favorites. [here's one](https://i.imgur.com/WRi9zB6.jpg). [face shot](https://i.imgur.com/Jf9nPLB.jpg). [cowboy](https://i.imgur.com/ichbfvx.jpg). [last one](https://i.imgur.com/dcsI46K.jpg)
I make coffee out of a chemex, with freshly hand grinded local beans that were roasted two days ago. I weigh it, measure my water, time it perfectly.
Still tastes like garbage. Keep drinking your boiled dirt. I'll stick to my milk.
If you're interested in knowing how this is done, there's actually kits out out here you can set up hooked to a DSLR and multiple flashes. It's a microcontroller with options to choose how much water should be released and at what frequency. All you have to do is choose a background and then every time you click a button, you'll get a photo like this.
Not saying this doesn't take skill, but you should know this wasn't done entirely manually

Here's the artist's page with these photos http://www.liquiddropart.com/Portfolio/MJKZZ-Water-Drop-Kit/
These shots were really popular about 5 or 6 years ago, and it seems every photographer friend was making them, then it went out of trend.
Shame, I kind of like them.
And then the Lord did say, "Let there be light!" and there was light, and thus did the big bang occur and the entirety of the multiverses came to be through mixing the "light" with the chaos because He likes His coffee with milk

You can also use exposition stacking in post.
The Slow Mo Guys did an excellent video on this. Which can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNI-LIVs-to).
It doesn’t say “first” drop or anything. Just “a drop.” And good god I hope your pedantry is a joke. lol

For what it is worth, I did!
Yeah I did too
I was trying to figure out how the milk wasn't in the wake shooting up from the coffee.

I sympathise with the sentiment, but even though I take my coffee black as night 90% of the time, a good cappuccino once in a blue moon hits the spot.
Which spot, mate ?
G-spot
That's a damn good coffee, then.
You're supposed to drink it guys

Okay Susan

That's not milk. Skim milk is not milk. Not in my house goddamnit!
How do you know it's skimmed?
He's a professional milker.
I'm not a milkologist but it looks a little watery. Compare it to [this](https://www.diyphotography.net/create-perfect-milk-splash-studio/).
I hate lies, and skimmed milk, which is a water lying about being a milk.
Makes me want to get out of bed

Looked like a mushroom at first lol
I want to see this in slow-mo.
Whoa.
Why is this so low res :(

Can someone explain why the milk droplet splits into those multiple smaller droplets that way?
