I didn't had the right tools for the job. So here is the ingredients for this.

- 1x table light (tungsten bulb)
- 1x electric blue transparent paper
- Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 USM L
- Manfrotto 055 PRO B
- Manfrotto 488RC2 Ball Head
- Flash On

This is my very first attempt taking still life with frozen water shots. Kind of wet my camera, but it was worth it! Shot in a kitchen basin, I couldn't afford a studio unit with fancy lightings. And this is all I have, but i'm looking forward to do something a lot more better then this ...

How did you get such a crisp result?

I'm trying to figure out a similar thing, have water splashing on something, or have something dropped in a glass of water.

It's for an assignment and I'm finding it quite difficult

Wow, that's amazing! I can see from your other artwork that your a fan of the frozen water technique? I really like the way you pull it off, excellent work. Definitely deserves a .


Btw, I see that you are apparently Malaysian? My Programming professor is from Malaysia, I am planning a trip there as soon as I graduate college, sounds like a great place.

Oh I'm just another one of those American Fools. I take it you are from Malaysia then? I really do want to visit there. Actually, I just talked with my friend who's family is from Indonesia, and we think that we should travel together. He wants to visit Malaysia too and I want to visit Malaysia and meet his extended family who live in Indonesia. I'm going to have to pick up a better digital camera before I go though, maybe a Canon Rebel... Anyway, sorry about my rant. Keep up the good work!

Depsite your lack of professional studio, my opinion is that not having a studio didn't matter at all. You captured the moment perfectly, whether or not this was the first or thousandth try. Excellent job!

(In fact, I think catching a seemingly professional photo that was actually cauht in a sink basin shows how talented you are. =] )
