Set up a glass fish tank filled with water. Used warm water as it is the (exact) middle of Winter here...
Set up was in a fairly dark room.

Used a few UV Black lights behind the fish tank shining onto a piece of white paper... making the blue background. Used a red bulb set up on the right hand side of the tank to give the shot some other colour.

Dropped a shooter glass willed with air into the tank many times and this had the most interesting finish.
The hardest part was not the reflections in the glass (there weren't any to speak of), but to try and get a clear sharp unblured shot. Worked out that if I dropped the glass into the tank wall nearest the camera it was a bit sharper.

Guess it will score 5.7
Hope it will score 5.9
