Wow, very cool, Ray! That’s what I love about macro photography–anything makes a great subject.
geeze that’s cool but I’d be afraid of splashing my lens with milk !
Barbara : this has given a number of ideas!
Jodi : you can take a photo behind a window. With a proper alignment, it won’t show up. Nevertheless, I don’t think I’d use food to play. My parents always thought us never to play with our food… I guess some habits are harder to get rid of 🙂
Ray
He did that with the Canon G2 hand held.
Yeah, but who cleaned up the mess? 🙂
Probably his wife……….

My question:
(You’ll all probably laugh at me)how did he sync these shots? No one could do this by firing the shutter on a trial an error basis.
Caruso
Yeah, but you don’t know how many pictures he *didn’t* show us. I bet there are a bunch that bit the bit-bucket.
And I’m sure he had a blueberry dropper to help him.
Ray and all…
I finally got a chance to look at those Blueberry pics. They look a lot like some of the early high speed shots that Edwin Land did in the last century! :}
My question is does the G2 allow for off camera flash? Certainly the shadows in these shots would indicate that.
Also, did the photographer get "lucky" with timing on those shots? Or did he use some form of "electric eye" to trip the shutter at the precise instant?
Just curious.

Dick, the Powershot G2 has a flash shoe, so it can use an external flash.
Ray
If he rolled the berries off an edge above letting them drop at a precise moment….he could have figured when to ‘click ‘ ..( after many shots…yes ) he probably had to play with the height of the edge the berry dropped from as well. It really is just a trial and error shot…yes ? With a friend to help it would be easier… " OK, NOW !"…and the friend nudges the berry off the edge while he stands with camera in hand ready to click. Hey, anyone want to give it a whirl ??? …see if my theory works ?
