Bouncing Gel Balls

Bouncing Gel Balls

Uploaded: October 01, 2011

Description

These are clear Gel Balls that were allowed to bounce on a piece of glass painted black on the under side to cause the reflection. Also there is about 1/2 inch of water on the glass contained by silly putty. The lighting is two strobes, one clear to the right and a blue gel on a light to the left rear. The background was allowed to go to black.
If you would like more info by all means send me an email...happy to share!
BTW...clear gel balls are water filled and used by florists. They are roughly 1/2" in diameter.

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 90.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300
