Cool! I like them!

PS. The obvious question: how did you do it???

Pekka - I am humbled by your comment and curiosity

The three glasses are glued to a board. The board is fitted with Lego wheels (they were to hand).

The now trolly, is allowed to roll down another board acting as a slope, with a hard stop at the one end. Here, the camera is at angle to match the slope.

High Speed, off camera flash illumitates the background.

This was my inspiration, although I used trial and error rather than a sound trigger.

Nice! I guessed it was something like that, the odd thing was how to get the camera frame the action point.

That setup could be used for anything, like a bowl full of M&M's, or mice

PS. Either #1 or #3 could be a "Best of", but they have to be in your gallery to be eglible <-- (hint)

Mmm, M&M's

These are interesting & the most original idea that I've seen in years.

Beautiful images and perfectly captured. I love them.

I took the rig to Photo Club night last week - the activity was very well received and have been asked to do another session.

Here's a very short video of the rig in action, and the fun we are all having: External Link

On this occasion we have a couple of bare studio lights aimed at a white shower curtain hanging off the wall and another shower curtain on the floor (it is a bit messy)

Very cool!

Awesome shots. Thanks for the "how-to"!! Just might have to try this!!!

Great shots, cool idea.

Nailed to the board and Lego!!!

Brilliant idea and great finished article.

Love these! The link to the short video has expired. Any way to reactivate it? Would like to try this!

I understand the video will be appearing on the Club's new website - when I find it, I'll post up the link.
