I was just thinking Tom. For a guy who started out with a digtial camera and a roll of toilet paper, you sure have come a long way.

You should be pleased!

Good work Tom!

And a very nice photograph by the way!

Hello Tom.

Nice timing and capturing the moment of impact. Great exposure and sharp detail. The curvature of the glass bottom in the BG detracts a bit. Perhaps using a larger container would avoid this. Is that vermouth that the olive is falling into?

This was the largest container I had, sadly it distracts indeed.

It is just normal water by the way, I am gonna try to make a sugarsolution which is more siropy. Maby get better results.

Thank you for the comments

All the best,

Tom B

Just a suggestion - Try a blue piece of paper or towel under the bowl for an aqua effect in the water.

Thanks for the tip,

I will try it as soon as possible.

All the best,

Hey Congratulations Tom on having your photograph on the front cover of macro. Looks really sharp. Got to give you credit Tom, seems like your the guy who takes the ball and runs with it when he gets the chance. Nice work!
