 I am really pleased the way this came out, I love playing with water! The tomato is suspended in mid air on a fork which is attacted to a potato masher(with gaffer tape) which has a rock on (as a counter weight). I cut a small hole in the paper before I attaced the fork, placed this between the fork and the masher. So from the right angle it looks like the tomato is floating! All this was placed in the sink with the tap positioned above. I position the tomato upside down then rotated the pic 180 degrees in photoshop, to try and get the water 'explosion'. Took a few test shots, used a large aperature to kind of blur the background as the splashes on that are distracting. For lighting I used my sigma EF 500DG with my trusty milk bottle diffuser! - I hope all that makes sense!
