Well, what can I say.... I'm overwhelmed by the score, love the comments. I was even at a new PB at one point…
It took me a while to get the idea with the gummy bears. I did so many experimental short in all sorts of lighting, in different poses, with water, without water. Ended up using tap water colored with black ink to make a good contrast to the green bears (had to keep reminding myself not to eat the green ones while I was photographing ;-))
My fingers were black with fishing the bears out of the inky water so often, so I put on my rubber gloves, after that the little devils kept slipping out of my fingers (yes, I was splashing them into the water too).... I must have looked a great sight as the rubber gloved photographer ;-)
Here are a couple of outtakes, two I’ve tidied up a bit and two straight from the camera, only cropped and resized:
Thanks for the ribbon!!!! I'm SOOOO happy.
