close up of strawberry dive bombing into a glass of water from a really really tall height…. :-)

Thank you everyone for your kind comments with regards to these 3 images. I have been requested to supply so more technical information on how I took these….

Tall vase about half filled with water.
Lighting – just the unshaded Aussie direct sunlight (no reflectors)
Good sturdy tripod.
Cable Remote shutter release.
Set the manual focus with the berry floating on the surface of the water.
Then just drop the berry into the water (from about head height) and try to sync pressing the remote button, having the camera on Continuous Shooting seemed to help…….
