Here is a shot of the set up from my 365
http://nikonites.com/project-365-daily-photos/4385-project-365-2012-axeman-29.html#post53735

I Duck taped a wine glass at an angle to a old tripod mount. Two white foam boards at a 90^ angle to each other. A 100 watt flood light pointed at the backboard. A "flag" on the flood light to keep light off the wine glass.

I idea was to light the back board and use the side board to bounce more light on to the left side of the shot.

Blue food coloring in water and start pour water in to the wine glass fast to get the splash effect of the water coming out and rapid fire at 4 frames per second. I tried other colors but liked blue the best.

Used Lightroom to take out the tungsten tone from the floodlight and turn it white.

This shot was inspired by this video but used materials I had at hand instead of doing it the way it is shown in the video.
