How do you photograph splashing water?
A shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second or faster will effectively freeze a tiny water droplet in the air, but a slightly slower shutter speed of 1/250 usually works great for bigger water splashes. However, you might want to try using Manual Mode, especially if you plan to use a controllable light source.

What equipment do you need for Splash photography?
You don’t need much specialized gear for water splash photography. Any decent camera will be okay, though to obtain better quality you should use a DSLR or a mirrorless camera with a good lens. (I shot from a distance with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at 200mm.)
How do you take good water pictures?
Moving water often looks best when captured using long exposures. If you use a short exposure, the water will appear frozen, like ice; by adding some motion blur you can improve the look of your water photos. Typically, shutter speeds of 1/30 second or longer will start to blur moving water.
How do you shoot raindrops?
If you want to capture falling raindrops and freeze the droplets in your image, use a shutter speed of at least 1/1000 sec. Use a slower shutter speed of 1/60 sec to capture the movement of falling rain. A slower shutter speed will produce some nice long streaks.
