1 Borrowed Flash with Diffuser
$2.65 (had to buy batteries lol)
1 Big Stomach Ache from pre dunk'd cookies...
PRICELESS
Setup: Used my girlfriends kitchen table.
Borrowed my friends Canon 580EX II flash (AMAZING)
Bought a $20 strobe light (I don't know what I was thinking I didn't use it)
2 tripods, one for the camera, one for the light
Used my Canon RS-60E3 Remote Switch
Lighting: Ambient light coming in through a sliding glass door(left side).
60w desk lamp rigged to an extra tripod (back light).
Mirror reflecting the ambient light (right side).
And a camera mounted Canon 580EX II flash.
Once you get the timing down it's pretty simple. I actually got a pretty decent shot on my 3rd attempt. There was A LOT of messing with ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, Flash adjustments, Lighting, Time of day (for proper ambient light).
Really not sure how this will do, I didn't see any shots like this the first time this challenge was out.

Interesting take on the milk & cookies idea. I don't think the splash adds to the emotion or the feeling of childhood, but it certainly makes for a more dramatic photo. Great execution on the splash... lighting, composition, etc.
