oooooooooops!

actually, i did get some shots where the liquid *mostly* went into the glass, but they were lacking a certain something, and after an hour or so of this nonsense i've given up...

i was trying to follow this tutorial

this is for the high speed one night stand shot which was meant to be done last night... but wasn't... now it's done... moving on!

(and thank you all for the lovely response to my "fail" shot from yesterday... i really didn't expect it on that one!)

@bill_fe tx Bill... i used duct tape ;p the glass was taped to a cutting board that i propped up against a plastic cup... it's not quite as precarious as it sounds tho - there is a cut out in the board (for a handle) that kind of fit onto the edge of the cup...

@orangecrush - tx Jerry! the lighting was a bit of a pain... yes - a speed light - off the camera to the left (to avoid shadows)... and a soft box light with white poster cardboard clipped to it as the backdrop...

@bella_ss tx Sheralee - yes - quite messy... i think i used a full roll of paper towel and my hands were quite blue!

[☠northy]

@janim tx Jani! one of my boys was watching... his comment was: "mom - i think you're supposed to get the water IN the glass" ;p

[Brianna]

Aha! At least it was a learning experience and you certainly have an amazing photo to show for it! Must've had a bit of a clean up afterwards! Totally worth it for this amazing photo though! ;)

[Jocasta]

I admire the time and hard work you put into your photography - this is great.

[Katarina]

greta fhoto! love the capture and the colour

[summerfield]

dollarama has cheap stemwares that are 'expensive' looking. those are for this kind of shots, the expensive stemwares you use for whatever they're supposed to be used for. :-P

[Call me Joe]

Wet and wild !!:)

[Nia]

Love that blue and lol after reading the comments your son made. Did you give him a smart Alec response back?

[Islandgirl]

Great job.............your quite the determined girl..............Fav for all the work.

… if so, then a lucky mishap…! I suspect it’s nothing of the kind, though…! :-) Great colour play.
