Glass falling in water

What are your thoughts about this one? I've been working in this

project for a couple of weeks now and this is the first one I really

like. And you?

Cool shot!

Wonderful textures, a gorgeous deep red, its eyes suggest evil. I fight with the part of my mind that wants to know what it is - knowing that it doesn't really matter - but still wanting to know. Love the contrast between the fluid top, the melted metal middle and the sturdy base.

very interesting studio shot, very powerful, I am trying to understand what is it exectly, but I am not sure that i can, anyway I like it (would be nice to know what is it)

Thanks for the comments. This is just a champagne glass falling in water. The glass is filled with red coloured water (tinted with textile dye). From the many tries this one came out particulary special. It has a extrange thing to it.

-regards,

Beautiful image and very nice work!

very nicely done. I can only imagine the amount of work it took to get this shot. The number of times you had to refill the tank and clean it.

Very nicely done. I've got a shot sort of like this one, but I like yours better. I immediately decided against the colored water because of obvious problems with coloring the tank water. You went straight ahead and did it. Bold.

 

I like this becuase it is at the same time clean and simple, and there is a lot going on. It seems the glass was buzzing or ringing entering the water, with the disruptions on the sides of the water tunnel.

 

I've gotta do this again. This is a good time.

Hi Steve,

Quite an honour to have your comment here. I've been inspired by your work and actually the idea of using coloured water in the glass came from seeing the nice colours of your breaking-glass work.

 

You're right regarding the annoying thing of the paint colouring the water tank each time. I guess that changing the water isn't as hard as cleaning the glass mess that your setups should leave, but after much trying I found that if you fill in the tank just below the height of the glass, you can throw the glass and if it stays standing it will just spill a bit of colour, not enough to introduce a cast in a 10-15 liters of water. Of course, you're lucky for one or max. two shots

If you give it a try I'll break some glasses and we'll exchange notes afterwards... deal? :-)

 

-regards,

Gerard, This has produced a much more intriguing effect than I'd have ever expected had I been explained the process in advance. Even after reading your comments it took me some time to understand exactly where in this image the champagne glass was. I like the fact that this is a "straight shot". This has an "other worldly" look to it. Very original.
