@LindaC @kcwebbah

i used 4 raspberries... two at a time... fished them out and dried them off between takes...

i think i must have "taken" over 450 shots... which would translate into about 45 "tries"... i set the camera up to continuous shooting for 10 shots, dropped one raspberry, then another... check out the results on the camera's screen and immediately delete anything that was a total miss... mind you, the first bunch of times i got some decent splashes, but in editing realized first that in using too high an ISO i was ending up with cropped shots that were really grainy... switched that up and then realized the bowl i was using was too small... more info than you really wanted? ;p
