    very cool! What speed are you taking these at? Did you dye the water, or fix the color? It is quite symmetric for a uncontrolled environment.

    Re: Water Drops...

    Thanks everyone.

    Dubbs, I was trying to think of something that was reflective, I glanced down at a DVD R that was sitting on my desk and figured I would try it out.Funny how things work out sometimes,.
