That's very interesting. How exactly did you do that? Speed flash or what?

Yeah, tripod, flash, and as high a shutter speed as possible

That is a really nice picture.

I'm fairly new to playing with cameras, so excuse my ignorance, but what sort of camera are you using and how did you time the dropping of the grapes into the water? What sort of flash did you use?

If you buy a copy of Digital Photo magazine this month they have an article and video on what to do.

I was using a Canon 5D & 430EX flash, but an in-built flash is just as good.

ISO100, as high a shutter speed as possible (1/250 with my flash I think), a tripod and a longish lens (to prevent splash on the camera/lens).

I simply dropped the grapes and relied on good luck for when I pressed the shutter
