Freezing Motion

During a break from work I decided to try my hand at freezing the motion of water, with some help from Joe Jackson.
Of course my supervisor had to make sure that the water level was correct before the experiment began.
The basic idea is to darken the entire room to near pitch black; pre-focus the camera on the subject; have the camera on a long exposure (four seconds in this case); set the flash to a really low setting; and trigger the flash as say a olive hits the liquid.
