Whilst browsing through Twitter I came across a tweet from @castlegalleries about Heinz Maier. He is an amateur photographer who uses high speed photography to capture the moment that dyed droplets hit the surface of water. He only began taking photos at the end of 2010 and it is amazing what he has achieved. Maier carries out his hobby in the evenings to work around his family and his job as a factory plant operator. He mainly focuses on macro photography working with water droplets and insects.
I love how beautiful and almost abstract these images appear. There are so many different techniques I want to try out. May have to get hold of a macro lens first though! Maier has also devised a piece of equipment to release the water droplets for the photo. His set up looks more complicated than the process of shooting the image.
