Sliding Splash Setup
Setup used to take the sliding splash photo.
A picture for the shooting session can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/30588268@N03/3630560016/
For the shot a flash (580) is placed on a second tripod aiming at the background (not shown here). I tried several backgrounds but found that the blue one gave the best result.
I build up a small track from some duplo Lego I stole from my son. I hot glued a piece of acryl on the small rail wagon (yes I know I properly ruined the wagon…). A top of this I glued a wine glass with 10 sec glue (my wife don’t know yet). At the end of the track some Lego is placed to stop the train (and glass).
The glass/train is pulled with some thread.
The photo was taken manually with a wired release some few 10th sec after the collision.
My 580 was placed just left to the collision spot aimed at the blue background.
After taken the shot I was not satisfied with the background (not blurred enough) so I replaced it in Photoshop with a gradient one with the same color so it matches the color seen in the glass.
