Try looking up Harold Edgerton of MIT who was one of the founders of high-speed flash. For nature photography using high speed flash check out the work of Stephen Dalton.

Amazon have books about both these guys.

Phew - I'm so glad you've said that, Mike!

I've been feeling maybe I'm not a true EPZer, not having photographed a water droplet. Almost took my 20D to the sink the other day but decided I couldn't be bothered!1

Wow - any chance of putting that up for us to look at?

That must have been a splash worth photographing!!
