Taken with a mini blue reading or keychain light? Still looks cool to have the light shining forth from the hands. The bright spot on top is a bit distracting.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the votes and all the comments.

It actually was not a difficult setup at all. This shot was about the 5th try or so. A 420EX flash with a blue gel was used as a slave flash to create the gradient. A friend poured the water and I just took a snapshot while he poured. The 125th second flash was fast enough to freeze the water drops.

Contrary to what some of you thought it actually was not an underwater shot like that of kiwiness. The blobs you see are the actual water drops, not bubbles.

Enjoy your day!
Rudi

Lovely composition. I like how the glass is off kilter and how nothing is square in this shot. Beautiful gradation in the backdrop.
