Turtle Milk Splashing

Turtle Milk Splashing

That title might seem a bit odd, but, as you soon shall see, it is really quite apt. I have made another attempt at high speed flash photography. Rather than use a coin this time, I have chosen to use a little turtle that I got in a Kings cake. I've also changed the liquid from water to milk. The result is a set of photos with a very playful-looking turtle splashing about in a puddle of milk. Turtle Milk Splashing

Going in for a nose dive. Unfortunately his tail broke off in the events leading up to his splashfest.

For a little color, I had him landing in a blue Tupperware lid. I was hoping for a splash where his quadrupedness was evident, but when he landed flat, he only splashed to the sides.

This one is my favorite.
