I Shot this in my makeshift studio (the garage) using 2 AB 800's with umbrellas (1 translucent and one silver). My idea was to capture a noodle trying to escape from a boiling pot of hot water but when I took a few shots while the pot was boiling on the stove, the steam just didn't translate well. So i shot it in the garage instead without a boil. To get the noodle to jump I tied a piece of string onto it and pulled it out of the water quickly while I snapped the shot using a remote trigger. Out of the 200 or so shots I took I liked this the best because of the amount of water that was brought with the noodle.
