Wendi Donaldson
Does your wife know you’re throwing her jewellery around???!!!! LOL!!!!
VERY cool shot!!
Vikram Franklin replied
LOL! Thanks Wendi.
She most definitely knew – she gave me the pendant as she felt gold would show better than silver/steel.
Wendi Donaldson
It’s a stunning pendant….hope YOU bought it for her!! She’s a good sport too.
Vikram Franklin replied
:-( – I think this was one she bought herself.
But she most definitely is a good sport and a great support for me.
Appel
Wow, now that’s creative thinking! Very cool shot!
Vikram Franklin replied
Thanks Ann – had thought of this as a jewllery ad – though not sure it says much about intrinsic qualities of jewellery. I took a few with a watch thrown into the water – those would make good ads.
PeterBusser
Great shot! Love how you can see the pendant ‘broke’ the water surface.
Vikram Franklin replied
Thanks Peter – what was great was seeing the different ways in which the water broke with different objects – different with each object.

Shelly Hiebert
Whoa! This is pure perfection Vikram! You are inspiring me again which is great because I have been in a rut lately! LOVE this :)
Vikram Franklin replied
Now that Shelly Belle is amazing!!
Used this shoot to get myself to shoot new stuff – hadn’t shot anything new for a bit then the rain came and forced me into doing this.
Nicolette Thain
this is my fave of the three buddy but thay are all AMAZING!!!

priddylaydee
this is awesome – i work in a jewellers – i just wish i’d seen it in time for my may emerald birthstone display…. tell us your secret – how did you do this and get the shot so crisp???
Vikram Franklin replied
:-) – thanks for that most awesome comment!!
Not too much of a secret – it’s essentially the set-up that allows for the shot. The only post processing is a slight adjustment of curves. I described the set-up in a previous shot Splaaaasshhh

I love the bubbles realeased by the pendant, it almost seems to have torn the water. beautiful and inspiring work :)
