Those images are created completely different from the ones in forum discussion. IMO the “drop” would require some serious velocity.

I mostly denied the speculation that it was a photo composite and that it was some solid form such as wax or sugar.

I don’t begrudge anyone the freedom to experiment and to discover on their own. I can’t enforce some sort of trademark on technique. The physics become evident as you explore my images. I don’t hide that, and even share the work that others have done in a gallery on my Flickr site. If you or anyone “discovers” my thinly veiled secret, cudos! The thing is when people come out and ask me how, I am hesitant mostly because I expect them to do some of their own work and experimentation. I don’t do tutorials or how-to’s The results may be similar, but none are ever the same, even for me. The affect on my career will be minimal if at all. So please share if you’d like. I created my first form a year and a half ago and have been working to advance it and other fluid creations. Everyone needs a hobby. Be well. Jack

I’ve just run a test and I can now reveal that I know
how this fella has produced these ‘stills’ … however
out of respect for his career I will remain
silence … peace !

Though I would LOVE to see a behind-the-scenes shot of all this, I can understand why you are holding on to your secret. As long as the images are out there, expect the rest of us to speculate on how they are taken though. As I think you understand, it is our sincerest form of flattery. :)

And I have GOT to put my straw/syringe theory to the test. Maybe this weekend…

Regardless of whether I am able to come up with interesting shots or not, your images definitely show a level of skill and attention to detail that will leave most others (including me) in the dust. I would just like to get one more “wow!” image for our camera club competition here locally…

Nope. I have done shots with speakers, and they don’t act like Jack’s images. Here are a few of my own speaker-paint shots that I did awhile back:
