Hi guys,

Thanks again for the nice comments and the generous votes. I posted some more variations of the picture at:

The Blueberry Splash Files

The last pictures gives you an idea of my set up.

I haven't edited them much; too lazy tonight. Cropped a little and brightened them a bit in Photoshop. I shot approx. 100 photos for the challenge. I got the best effect when I'd actually throw them in the cream. Gently dropping the blueberries only caused unintersting blobs. I wanted a lower angle, but my first attempt caused some cream to fly on my lens ... that was the end of that. I ran off a couple of prints to hang in my home office. I convereted to Black and White, then colorized the blueberries (bright blue of course). Looks pretty neat.

Salut. Bonne soirée.

What shutter speed are you using to get those shots???

I used some at 1/640 second. some at 1/800 second. I used a very strong light source (I think 500W) in order to shoot at F8.0 and a really fast shutter speed. Wouldn't work with 60W or 100W bulbs + your flash won't fire off that fast. My dad gave me an old lamp he used for an old Super 8 camera (30 years old ... you know, those old home movies).

thanks Jacko.... i tried the water drop the other day but they did not come out. Looks like I need a more powerful light source

Just about all of those are worthy of submitting. I really like the 05 version! Thanks for the extra shots.
