Branching out here from drops striking water to drops of hot electrical solder into water. First off, it's nasty, sputtery, dirty stuff. Smelly, smoky, and hot enough to make this a study you'll do...once.
Results were OK, some kind of interesting, but not likely worth the post-shoot venting of the home in the midst of winter.
You try...sometimes it's worth it.
BTW, the last shot is the bits of solder drained from the bowl that they were dropped into, or, as I call them, the spent shells of a futile night.
Comments appreciated, other than "get a life."
