Water droplets - dipping a toe in macro photography

he he - so I have a canon S3 IS - got it last year since it allows enough manual control while also having family friendly thingies like video :). Also, with the chdk hack, the S3 IS is good enough for me to experiment.

So, one of these long time itches has been to take a water droplet splash - you know, the immensely close up snaps where you see a single drop splashing...

Here's the snaps after two evenings of trial and error (mostly errors though) - feeling quite smug myself :)
