Flat top

High speed splash shot - I like the flat top effect.

 

I bought this square glass at the thrift store and had to make it a prop for one of my shots. It has a green tint color and contrasted nicely with the background.

 

Strobist / setup;

- Custom built sliding table - glass is affixed to the table, which slides to the right stopping abruptly. When this occurs. the flash is triggered, capturing the splash.

- Hiviz Schmitt photogate trigger with delay circuit used.

- 1 - SB-800 flash set to 1/8 th power behind glass. Reflected off foamboard, through custom diffusion screen. Flash is gelled orange.

- Red coloring added to water.

- Cropping, light levels and saturation effects made in Picasa.
