Thank God I figured out a way to do these over the tub in the bath-room..... it still makes a mess but at least it's controlled, and I needed to clean my bathroom anyways. ;)
I still need another flash to really blow out the background to white, but this attempt was MUCH better then my first a couple of weeks back.
Info - I have a ledge that surrounds my bath-tub and on this ledge I butted up a piece of white foam-board on which I had attached a piece of plexiglass (which was 'supposed' to have protected the foam-board from getting ruined.... it didn't). Behind the setup I attached another piece of white foamboard to the wall as a backdrop and my flash was on a tripod in the bathtub. On the plexiglass I taped down the bottoms of the three glasses (note: masking tape works well until it gets wet). I prefocused and exposed for everything by propping up the board at about 45 degrees (the edge of the bathtub acted as a hinge), lowered the board back down to the ledge, filled everything up then it was just a matter of timing the exposure as I butted the board up against the edge of the tub and quickly lifted up the edge propelling the liquid out of the glass and "into" the tub.
Again - I am incredibly flattered by the response to this shot, so thank you all and I hope to be able to catch up here soon. :D
