Hope everyone had a festive Thanksgiving. I spent the day shooting dripping water mixed with a little milk, and had a blast doing it!

Is the color change with lights or coloring in the water? I think 10 is the winner for me, it's interesting how different they all are, like snow flakes.

The color change is due to gels over my strobes.

I used a red gel underneath the setup shooting straight up through a sheet of Plexiglas that a clear glass bowl of water was sitting on with just the flash diffuser holding the gel in place and no other modifier on it. I used a blue gel overhead through a small softbox (Lumiquest Softbox II) that I moved around to try different amounts of blue light on the crown. I used various colored gels with a gridded snoot on a third flash to camera left to hit just the splash that pops up, trying aqua, mauve, orange and red.
