My first ribbon, YEEEEEEE!

Thank you on your votes and comments.

@jomari: It was my first attempt at this kind of photography. It is not as difficult as it looks given you have patience for trial and error. There is an excellent video tutorial at gavtrain.com (//www.gavtrain.com/?p=3724). Equipment-wise it is not that demanding either. External flash, some sort of off-camera triggering capability, tripod and a remote. The remote is not mandatory, but it helps a lot. You can get away with the self timer, but it will require much more tries.

One thing i will definitely try in the future is to use sparkling mineral water. I expect some nice details details from the bubbles. And i should have boosted the background flash a bit more (about a stop)
