That photo is incredible!
I saw a water photography artist a while back, I know how much patience it takes to get a shot like this one. How did you do it?

Behind The Lens
Location
The photograph was taken in my kitchen at home - I am completely self-taught photographer and with any type of water or milk drop shots every photo is a lesson :-)Time
This was taken one evening whilst my beautiful fiancee was putting our newborn son to bed.Lighting
Two neewer speed lights were used at 1/32 power. they were angled towards to milk, and goes to show you do not need high speed sync speed lights for this type of photography. With a bit of persistance low end gear works fine.Equipment
This was shot on a D7100 - Sigma 105 - Monfrotto Tripod - Shutter release cable - 2 neewer speed lights - and a canon lens mug to hold the milk :-)Inspiration
I have seen splash art on facebook and wanted to try it out. I started by buying an old wine decanter from our local charity store before I got more serious with the techniques :-)Editing
I did a tiny bit of cloning and contrast tweaking in light room. There were a few stray milk particles and contrast tweaked to help make the image pop.In my camera bag
Well my D7100 and 150-500mm sigma very rarely see the inside of my bag. 9/10 times they are in my hand and the rest of my gear is in there. As standard I carry a tripod, shutter release, 10-24mm nikon wide angle, 105mm sigma, 50mm nikon, 18-200mm nikon and spare batteries and cards. All this fits nicely in a lowepro 400aw.Feedback
For splash art the main tip is patience. If you get stressed or try to rush it just wont happen - try adjusting your height of the drops, try different fluids - for my cravendale semi-skimmed milk works a treat! Also remember to switch your vibration reduction off if using a tripod - I learned that the hard way.
