Wow! This looks like a very difficult shot to setup and capture. Great work! Lisafx

A lot of hard work in that setup. Clever and interesting. - Shay

Ahhhhh.............Willem so close , so close.
A similar product maybe, with much grafting and shaping and testing of angles through the viewfinder,falling spoons and ladels, water everywhere except where I wanted it,and a few extra trips to the newsagent for more supplies.
The shadow, though, from the jug above.
But, then again, Uri Geller or Sigfried and Roy would have done it differently and in half the time.

very well done and very intrigueing. I see a round shadow in the top left behing the spoon, which suggest to me that you had blue-tack or chewing gum or something like that stuck to the underside of the spoons and then to the glass wall, so you wife could be happy that it was easy removable and you would clean her wall afterwards. Close ? Willem

Damn! Just when you think you've "got it" Anyway, it's what I would have done if I couldn't figure out a way to accomplish this :-) Mark J

Sorry, Markj not quite right but close ,but a very interesting idea.
The superglue was a thought but the side profile of the spoons did not offer enough area, plus the wife would not have been happy with me doing that to her Stanley Rogers setting :(

Ori, I will let you know at the end of the challenge.
It required patience and it was a matter of getting all the angles right,plus...........

Ori, I hope this does not disappoint you but, I'm willing to bet the bank that the spoons are not floating at all but, resting on the glass window blocks either temporarily glued to the surface or, the image is inverted to give the impression the spoons are in mid air. If I'm incorrect, the artist I'm sure will correct me, wont you? ;-) Mark J
