Acrylic Dive [reworking]

hey - i had submitted this long ago from a low res version. I have

completely reworked this from the beginning to make it much higher

quality - hopefully that comes through. Please let me know if anyone

has any critiques/improvements/or just hates it for no reason. Thanks!

Wow - very nice shot(s)! I love the tonality.

Great collage. Technically perfect.

Jeff,

It's a great capture. Love the tones in the BG and the action sequence. At first I thought it was 4 objects thrown on water at a very specific interval, but then I read the explanation on the other image in your portfolio. In any case it's a very strong image and even more important, it made me imagine how this could be done in one frame. I've tried high-speed photography before ( example here), and maybe(just maybe) I can pull the trick without the stitching... I'll give you the credits for the inspiration of course!!! ;-) ;-) Time to build a new tank!!! :-). BTW, how did you avoided the bubbles in the water? (I mean, on the glass walls)

kind regards, Gerard.

Excellent elaboration! Thank you!

Great series. Those high speed cameras rock. Hope to take some like that of my own sometime soon. This one has a much better feel to it than the original. I really like the rework!

This is just GREAT!

Excellant work.

THIS IS OUTSTANDING!!!

I litteraly said "holy crap" when I saw this, simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.

YOU ARE THE MAN !!

Great, very original capture

"Great, very original capture"

 

"capture"? "PHOTO" net?

Much better than the first one. It was worth it. Regards.

just incredible, I love the detail and how much the cork looks like a missile entering water (and how much the physics work right. it could be put into a textbook). Only thing I feel you could remove however is the 4th sequence, just leaving in the first 3. I find it very interesting how the "bubble" in the 3rd sequences is like that of a bottle (with the cork at the top) and adds more impact and surrealism, having the 4th sequence just grounds the viewer again.

 

Personal preference, but that's what i feel. lovely lovely shot

I can see David's point about the fourth frame, but from a fluid dynamics point of view I'd totally keep the fourth part. It's cool to see the colapse of the bubble.

Great work, I agree it needs the fourth for resolution.

thanks everyone for the kind comments - gerard.. i avoided bubbles in the way you'd assume, by painstakingly recleaning the glass walls between every shot, which took about 5-10 minutes - overall the shot ran about 4 hours to get this one going. thanks again.

Unbelievable photograph...

So carefully u have taken it......

 

That's just extraordinary. Never remove the 4th frame. It sort of looks like a wine glass (albeit without a base). That's just awesome. 7/7

Outstanding work!

awesome!!! excellent work

great idea, original dynamic image, cheers Jana

Just brilliant!
