Amateur photographer Heinz Maier is making a splash with his water drop art. He uses high speed photography to capture the moment droplets hit the surface of water. The factory plant operator from Stuttgart has only been taking photographs for less than a year and pursues his new hobby in the evenings, when his job and his family allow. But already, Heinz's work has been causing a buzz online, getting 600,000 hits in a matter of months.
