Liquid Sculpture

The image which appears in the DSPDES'10 poster and brochure is a photograph by Martin Waugh. No part of it is computer-generated, and this is the author's explanation of the process:

The image is a photo of three actors: two drops and a glass ring. The sequence of events is thus: A drop of blue water is released, falls and creates the familiar spike. Just then, the ring of red glass falls over the spike, immediately followed by a second drop of blue water which collides with the "head" of the spike, forming the "bowl" on top. So, I release a drop, a ring, and a drop, in about a 100 millisecond time frame. The red ring is in mid-fall, though people often think it is eight bouncing up or suspended in space with a wire.

I'd like to say that "timing is everything", but actually, this takes exact positioning as well, and some luck in getting the ring to not tumble on the way down (it desperately wants to.)
