Photography Contest Grand Prize Winner - Broken

Broken
I use High speed phography techniques to captures this type of photos. the room should be dark and the shutter is opened for one second. During this second, my flash is triggered to freeze the action. The flash is usually set to the minimum power to reduce the duration of the flash which means better action freezing. To trigger the flash at the right moment you can trigger it manually or using sensors. I used sensors but it is not a must. In this shot, I swinged the glass around its base and it was like a cup centrifuge and this caused the water inside to form this arch.
