 Broccoli splashing in water - This shot was taken in my living room with some strobe lighting and softboxes by Alien Bees Lighting. The fish tank I used I actually just found outside that someone was throwing away and it was in great conditioin , so I took it back home, cleaned it up , filled it with water , and then got the inspiratioin to start dropping things in it and taking pictures. I had to use a tripod and the timer on my camera to take this shot. I used several different objects to drop into the water , and ended up liking broccoli the best , partially because of the texture and color , and partially because broccoli floats in water which made it a lot easer to work with than anything else that I tried...

I'm sorry, it's a beautiful shot--but things dropped in water happens all the time on DPC.

Veggies in water. Veggies being dropped in water. Water drops. Yep, seen it plenty.

Are we trying to avoid 'cliche' by using broccoli? Whilst I enjoy the art of dropping things into water at dpc I don't consider this to be unique just because I've not seen this vegetable dropped into water so for me (if I was voting) this would not fit the challenge.
 06/26/2009 04:08:34 PM
Not exactly unique but i still like the shot ..8

Not very unique, I think. Nice pic, though.
