Thanx Denise,

I can't remember how many times I have attempted to try to do this with absolutely no success!

I just follow the tutorial provided from the strobist blog here.


I guess its up to me to get more creative now.


i.e. food coloring, 2% milk, multiple flashes, ect. ect.

I love them, they look pretty nice. I also viewed the tutorial, it looks indeed rather simple, I really should buy a flash transmitter and try it myself some time..

[ddt0725]

Well done Bob!


I like the camera angle you had on these.


I'll have to get me some of those remote triggers.


I was using an off shoe camera cord and it kept pulling my flash towards the pan of water[:@]

Well, I didn't have that problem, but I was shooting out of a stainless steel sink and the reflectiion of of the edge of the sink killed me. I eventually hung a dark colored towel over the edge of the sink and into the water and that helped a great deal.---

When I attempted this I used a glass baking dish and hung the dripping bag from the cabinets above. Try placing some pictures or colored paper as the backdrop and shooting your strobe at that. Makes for some colorful reflections also. Great attempts everyone. Keep shooting.
