Bob

Posted by Rhys (Darlington, United Kingdom) on 14 May 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Now come on, who hasn't put a childs toy in a glass jar, filled it with water and taken a photo? I do it everyday.
This was another 'experiment'. I was testing out some new studio flash heads- they are really quite good.

You could have given him the Playmobil Scuba divers kit though.How long did the poor chap have to hold his plastic breath ??

It seems that the experiment was successful. I like the rendition of the glass of the jar. I am just a little puzzled by the shape of the shoulders of the jar.

I can't say I've ever put plastic toys in a jar and filled them with water, but now that I see this image I wish I have. Great and extremely surprising image if you ask me! Now can someone please save the poor bugger?
