plink plink fizz

Good old advertising from the 70's - Showing my age now!

Loaded early because my other half helped me with the photo today (21st) before he went home. I sat in the bath and he dropped the alka's into the glass.. over and over again because I was too slow and kept missing the shot! He's a patient fella :-)

I tried the bath as wanted a shiny white background for reflections but think I made a bit of a mess with the flash, the curve of the bath & the circular patterns that I got as a result. Ahh well, its all a learning curve :-)
It was fun trying to make the pic and this immediately sprung to mind when I saw the new theme.. too many hangovers in my 20's!
That's cool. By the way I've lived in Leeds since 1985, originally from Wiltshire.

Hi Freida. No, I'd say they're both beauiful but that Yorkshire shades it. Hope you find Leeds welcoming. I certainly did.
June 21st, 2010  
Yes! "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, Oh what a relief it is!" Made me smile!

Nice job. I like the action of the water and catching the second tab mid-air.
June 21st, 2010  
Excellent job Freida. I am always so impressed when someone tried to capture a special effect and than do it so well. AWESOME Job.

Haha...great shot!!! I used to love those Alka Seltzer commercials...such a great jingle!
June 22nd, 2010  
Great shot. I think the 365 system is reducing the size of the pictures (concerning the mbits). Hehehe otherwise the server would explode.
June 22nd, 2010  
Ahh, good old Alka Seltzer. Good to see it is still going. Nice shot for the new theme.
June 22nd, 2010  
This is good. I haven't seen either set of advertising, but I like how this turned out.
June 22nd, 2010  
Just saw your comment. We were in Sg at the same time I was there from 75 to 79! - the first time I lived there in fact I started school in Singapore and my little sister was born there. It has changed a lot but there are still bits - and smells!-that instantly bring back vivid memories.

So weird I was 5 in 75 and went to Tanglin Preparatory school (before it was the expensive Tanglin Trust it is now) and lived in Sophia road behind Istana near Plaza Singapura/ Yaohan Plaza. Did you go to school in Sg?
June 22nd, 2010  
Wow! You really got a good one here! Oh, and I have enjoyed going back and forth reading about yours and Tanya's reflections of both having lived in Singapore :-)
June 22nd, 2010
