A Sticky Business

Very nice shot, I really like the idea!

Neat! This makes me "feel" the consistency of the syrup.

Nice! Great composition and idea!

Now I am convinced that you are an octopus! Great shot!

@daffodill huh? octopus?

@jayberg She meant you have a hand to hold each spoon, pour the syrup AND hold the camera for the shot!!! I was wondering what your set up looked like myself. Fabulous execution to this interesting shot, Jay.

@grammyn ah..I see...you are so smart...so here how it works:
a) tape one spoon to a yardstick and stick it into a tall crate
b) tape the bottom spoon to a tall wine bottle and put it directly under the spoon in part 'a'
c) install camera on tripod
d) prefocus the lens in manual
e) use a remote shutter release on the camera with the left hand
f) pour the syrup with the right hand
and voila... a sticky shot..all very simple

@jayberg Truthfully I figured it was something like that because I was reasonably certain you AREN'T an octopus!!! (;

@grammyn no..I don't even have a garden in the shade...lol

@jayberg Lol!! I get it!! (;

this is cool! And I think you are very industrious. I can barely set up my tripod without knocking it over!

Very creative, great idea :)

Creative! Simple but fun

Such a great idea and clean shot.

Wonderful idea,
One day you have to post a picture what your surrounding looks like when you do your water, sirup or other liquids shots.

I tried some water shots once and almost everything was flooded ... kudos for working with sirup ;-)

@jayberg Thank you for your explanation. Here I was jealously thinking that you must have a couple of assistants. Nice shot BTW.
