Brilliant picture, but got to agree with Arkady - hope the champs didn't go to waste
 I for one am interested in how you set up the shot. Allan |

Great shot - no idea how you did it, but would be interested
Maybe upside down releasing the cork and filled with water? |

Jus' kidding - great shot. Bollinger's OK, but I prefer Dom Perignon - they're all about £25+ and I rather spend that on a decent Islay Single Malt.
I hated doing stuff like this at college - mainly because I was so cr*p at it. I saw a similar shot by Michael Freeman - took about six exposures (all on 5x4" film) and the 'liquid' was water from a hose, comped on afterwards. The cork was suspended on a wire. |

Ok, you guys are pretty close.
I had an empty bottle drilled by a glazer (2" Hole):  Then stuck a bracket on the back using very strong glue.  After that, mounted it onto a painted black board, folowed by screwing a long screw through the board and positioned the cork about two inches under the upturned bottle, I also drilled a small hole onto the bottle end of the cork (I'll explain this later) finally spraying it to give the impression of the bottle being cold.  Lighting was with the 550 flash angled towards a white board on the left, and a mirrir on the right.  To get the shot, I help a bit of rubber under the bottle, and poured Tonic water into the hole in the top, then when ready with the wired remote, whipped my hand out of the way, I tried to time it so the Tonic hit the cork, and the hole I made in the cork stopped the liquid balooning over it, and fired it back into the oncomming liquid. After getting the shot (about 20 shots all together) I rotated it to the angle you see, and darkened it, and cleaned it up slightly. Voila. done.
