This shot really surprised and amazed me. I figured it would look neat to fill the blender up with water and punch the button, but I didn’t expect to see the silvery pocket of air that gets pulled down and the subsequent trails off of the blades as they slowly cut into it. The disturbance of the water on top I also found incredibly cool. You will notice that at one point the blender gets shut off for a moment. I had held the button down about half way for a moment, released it and then pushed it all the way in. All of that took perhaps a second and half or so, though in this video it translates to a very large pause. I was very lucky with the camera and lighting angles on this shot. I set the shot up without much thought as to how the lighting was going to interact with the water, this was one of the first shots I took with the ultima APX. More than anything I was just playing around with it, trying to get a feel for how all of this works. The lighting ended up accentuating the ripples and distortions in the water, making what was going on very clear and visible. Sadly, I cut the shot off a bit too soon, you don’t get a chance to see the vortex recede after the power was cut, however I make up for it in a shot you will see later.
