Strawberry Splashdown- Must Try In Pimm's! by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Strawberry Splashdown- Must Try In Pimm's!

I was challenged by @dyerama to take an action shot with extra points if it is summery. Well no street type action happenning around here and as it's not raining thought I'd gett Him to drop a summer strawberry into a pint glass of water and see what happened.

IF I were to do this again I'd probably have the camera looking down onto the surface to capture the splash rather than straight on and maybe a smaller glass to get a better splash. As it's my first attempt I'm chuffed with it! It actually took fewer attempts than yesterday's white reflecting sweetpeas! Thank you for putting both sweetpea shots onto PP :)
@dyerama not sure what you were thinking of but it has actino and strawberries grow in summer!!

Love the face!!
July 27th, 2017  
This is something I want to try, but not sure where to start! Pimms is a must!!!!
July 27th, 2017  
Impressed with the Face's ear. You're absolutely right to be chuffed with it; I certainly would be too ;-)

@s4sayer I see a quiff now too!
@megpicatilly it was fun, a bit messy but a laugh

Cool fav
July 27th, 2017  
Neat

Am I the only one to see a face here? The two big bubbles on in the middle of the glass are the eyes, the little bubble just below is the nose, and the strawberry is the mouth saying 'ohh'!
To top it off, the big frothy bubbles on top is the hair - very similar to the way Elvis Presley wore his!
Nice shot with the reflection and such and a FAV!

@farmreporter - with an ear, yes?
July 27th, 2017  
Brilliant for a first try! Really like this! Fav

Great shot, made me thirsty though
July 27th, 2017  
Wowy face you've created. Favvvvv! :-)
July 27th, 2017  
Yep - there's an ear as well - and I guess I wasn't the only one to see the face. Oops!

It's the face that makes this... serendipity in action.
July 28th, 2017  
Great fun, great result:)
July 28th, 2017  
It's great to see such an action shot which is fun as well. To get a "face" as well is indeed serendipity. FAV.

Pimms sounds good, but you might waste some and that would never do! Must try this but I think I would make a mess. Great shot and you should be pleased with it

Quite creepy in a way! But very clever to get a splash shot I have never attempted it.
July 30th, 2017  
The first thing I saw was the face! I thought you were amazing how you did that!.... then reading the comments I realised it was luck!...... It's still amazing though!

@janemartin most if my successful photos boil drown to luck!!!!
@wylieclicks oh do!!! But outside as it's such messy fun! Nursery school at the age of 59 was great fun!!!!
