cheers guys
for the milk splash I used a 50mm 1.8 for those shots, speedlite mounted on hotshoe, and an old black tshirt for the background. 40d was mounted on tripod over a table.
i grabbed a basting brush (or any brush really) and used that to drip milk...i was using the bottom of a drinking glass as the base there..
anyway you just keep dripping and shooting until you get the shot you want..i wasnt using a stupidly fast shutter..i think it might have been about 1/320..just experiment and see what works...which is all i was doing..
happy to answer any questions though for any shots you might see.
