Techs: This composition is an image overlay of two frames captured in RAW and then converted to JEPG. Format; shot at four frames per second using a polarizing filter, at 50 percent capacity. The drops were created in an old fish aquarium filled half way with a suspension media of water, corn syrup, glycerin, and food coloring. Three 00 buckshot were released from the top at a distance of three feet, to create the volcano eruption effect.
The image was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D macro lens with a 20mm extension tube.

Hey Doctor,
These are done looking through the glass...:):cool: I'm glad you like it. Set up time is about two hours; and by the time the final take is complete, it runs about four hours to get it right...:cool:
BTW Gus, just wanted to mention what an incredible amount of set-up to capture this shot after reading your next post in this thread. It is so beautiful. I think we will call you the MM (macro-maestro).:cool:
Motif: Water - "Eruption"
