Neat... how did you get the timing right? Did you just keep dropping eggs and firing the shutter until you got it? 
I'm only just beginning to tap into on and off camera flash more extensively and I love the X100S' leaf shutter & high sync speed options, but you don't see too many people (David Hobby aside) really taking advantage of it all that often.

I love this - saw it over on Flickr first. First thing I thought was how much I wanted to have a drink from that pitcher. Now I'll have to read about it... A beautiful icy cold but refreshing image.
Thanks everyone!
@jloden I prefocused the camera then switched over to MF which resulted in instant capture (vs. focus then snap) and I just dropped the one egg and took two shots.
Maybe good timing maybe also a bit of luck.
The Leaf shutter and its HSS capabilities just open up a world of opportunities!
@BBW thanks again for the compliments! I don't know that you want to drink from that pitcher haha - A drop of vinegar in the water allows the egg to remain whole during the drop. So unless you're a big vinegar fan i'd advise against it

I had no idea it was an egg - thought it was a lemon! And vinegar isn't my thing for drinking either. Thanks for letting me know.
Still love the picture.

ha! love it! everyone says it looks like a lemon
I guess I perfected my egg poaching ways (which I leveraged for this shot)!
Thanks!!
