@Sarito: The setup is very simple. I had a shallow pan with colored water. Behind the pan a small curtain of white cloth. External flash (SB600) set to bounce the light off the white curtain. Since I couldnt get a speed faster than 1/500 with this setup, i had added some gelatin to the water to slow it down. For the drops I had used a syringe. Triggered the shots visually...needs some patience though :)
Arggghhhh ... now I'm' jealous! I've been trying this a couple of days ago and it almost drove me insane! You did a great job, beautiful shot of this 'glass' crown!
@Sarito: The trick lies in shooting it from an oblique angle and not from top. That way when the light comes from behind, it will reflect off from the surface of the pool, making it white. And the light which refracts through the drop brings out the color :)
