I am completely amazed by Flickr user Steve Strawn’s gallery of stop action, broken glass photos. The planning, creativity, and perseverance that’s needed to do work like this is hard to find. The lighting in his photos is fantastic and his use of colors (this one titled “Broken Primaries”) really adds the extra pop to push these to the professional level. I would love to see his setup for these and watch the master at work. This makes me want to head over to Ikea to buy a pallet of glassware so I can attempt some shots of my own. Warning, if you try this at home, be sure to wear some protective eyewear!
