How do you do that?
I still haven't quite got around to making full tutorials yet but heres a few pictures with descriptions of how I made them and a couple of post production timelapse videos.

This is me shooting a pint of lager with an air rifle. I probably spent more time setting this up than any other shot. I used an audio trigger which fired a couple of flashes upon the sound of the gun firing. I practiced for a long time by shooting plastic cups, the timing was very hard to get right and I only had one glass. Its one of those times i had my heart in my mouth going for the shot but then danced around when seeing the result!

This is a milk drop collision. This happens when a drop of milk enters a cup of milk, the drop then rebounds upwards and collides with another drop coming down. The timing for these is critical and I use a kit called SplashArt.

This all happens far too fast for even a camera so the shot is taken in near darkness, the kits fires a few speedlights to capture the action, its about 1/10,000th of a second.This is a few layers blended. First I took a shot of the car with the lights on, then I used a Maglight with a white card reflector and walked past the car a few times to get those shiney lines, after that I went around the back of the car waving around a colour changing light wand to make the coloured ribbons. Once all the photography was done I layered all the frames in Photoshop and set the blending to 'lighten'.
The firey sparks here are made by spinning burning wire wool, you can find out more about that here;

The coloured lines on the ground were made with a coloured torch and the blue 'orb' was made by spinning a light in a vertical circle while walking around in a horizontal circle. heres a vid;
