That title might seem a bit odd, but, as you soon shall see, it is really quite apt. I have made another attempt at high speed flash photography. Rather than use a coin this time, I have chosen to use a little turtle that I got in a Kings cake. I’ve also changed the liquid from water to milk. The result is a set of photos with a very playful-looking turtle splashing about in a puddle of milk.
Going in for a nose dive. Unfortunately his tail broke off in the events leading up to his splashfest.
For a little color, I had him landing in a blue Tupperware lid. I was hoping for a splash where his quadrupedness was evident, but when he landed flat, he only splashed to the sides.
Wading in shallow milk.
Splish!

This one is my favorite.
There are a few more that didn’t make the cut for this blog entry. They are available here.

| I took some photos just now on a grocery errand. It was so sunny when I left the building, but when I turned the corner, I found this dark looming storm cloud ready to pounce on me. If a storm pounces, does that make it cumulonimble? Vanebow. I was hoping to get the rainbow right [...] |
