 I want to thank my Dad for helping me with the lighting, and the dropping.



It took nearly 30 try’s to get this picture the way I wanted it. We dropped a broken glass (we broke on accident trying to do this challenge) into a plastic bucket we spray-painted black. We filled the bucket with mustard and water. I ended up getting mustard all over the background before we got the final shot. Hope it still scores okay. I had a lot of fun doing this challenge and look forward to the next.

Only did that once, I bet.

should have zoomed in a bit more, in my opinion there is too much space around the bicket

Must be nice to have a place to do something like that! Interesting shot since it's not just 1 drop, but the whole bucket. However, I'd like to see a better focus, and maybe the background could be improved. You're on the right track though!

wow... that would have been a pain in the ass to clean up, I hope you didn't have to shoot too many. It's a great Idea, but technically not quite there for mine. The lighting is a bit off and the backdrop would be more effective without the strange pink tone. Also, I would prefer to be slightly close to the action. 6.

Why is the table slightly off center? Well, that is what i am thinking about when i see your picture. Is that what you wanted?

Great idea, decently executed. I think a faster shutter speed would have been better, to freeze all the action.

Nice explosive effect, also great work highlighting the yellow and providing an interesting background. Unfortunately, a mess is not the most appealing of sights. An 8.

whoa! That is a mess and I'm guessing you didn't get too many shots at this. A tighter crop and a little more contrast would have added to the impact I think.

A bit noisy

hah... nice. i just wish there were more contrast (a) in the splash itself and (b) between the splash and the background. 'tis most definitely a very cool splash.
