Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2008 8:40 pmLove the second one. From my perspective, it could do with a little cropping on the left hand side.

For the people who asked how I did the golf ball splash.
Splash # and #2 where done using only the 2 yellow spotlights you see in this photo. I just dropped the ball and used a remote shutter switch to trigger the camera when I thought the time was right. I think the photos done this way worked out better than the ones below with the flashes.
Splash #3 and #4 where done using the flashes that can be seen to the front left and right of the fish tank. No spotlights. The "studio" was dark, camera set to 5 second exposure, then I dropped the ball and triggered the flash when I thought the ball was hitting the water.
Hope this helps.
