An artist has caused a splash with his photographs of water droplets. Markus Reugels, 33, drops water, milk or other liquids onto trays, egg cups or teaspoons and captures the splashes. He adds food colouring to the water and different colour gels to his flashes to create varying effects.

Different liquids give different results. By adding guar gum to the water he is able to thicken it and alter the shape of the splashes. The shapes can be further altered by adding sugar, and the splash can be increased in height by adding rinse aid to the dish.

Markus uses a sensor to trigger the camera because the water falls too fast for his finger to operate the shutter. An extremely fast flash and shutter speed, of up to 1/16,000th of a second, allow him to capture detail in the splash patterns that the human eye could never see.
For this image, called Big World in a Little Drop, Markus placed a map of the world behind the water splash
