That day was one of unusual for Atlanta windy, cold and low humidity days, when we gathered with our friends from PhotoSniffers.com to shoot a spectacular Atlanta Downtown sunset. We found a few places for the shoot, got a permission to shoot form one of it (one month of waiting).
Below are several images from these photo-sessions, more you can buy at our stock collection: AKELphoto.com

Would like to announce that we start to release free to download images at our Stock images website. Now, most of the new images will be free for download. Also, we decided to release a full resolution photo in our free collection, in opposite to a limited version (1920×1200 pixles) we use to have there, all images has uncompressed (100% quality) JPEG format, 300 dpi.
 Free stock images to download
Any time you see button you’ll be able to download the image for free after registration, which is free as well. We provide Royalty-Free license for all of our collection. However, we can always provide you more exclusive usage rights on the photos never was sold or downloaded before, if you’ll need such.
Hope our collection of free sock images will be useful for a designers, advertising professionals, bloggers (most looking for images to illustrate posts), or just for anyone who may need high-quality images.
The photos we provide usually our in-studio still life learning shoots, landscapes or life-style images. We have thousands of the photos waiting to be released, but the biggest issue is a lack of time to prepare and upload them. But we’ll keep it up:-)
 
Once again we were playing with water and fruits. Small inflated pool, 3 Canon Speedlite Flash units and some handy support hardware makes it possible. Around 1/10.000 second flash duration can freeze any splash, only you need to worry about is a light distribution: reflectors and white backdrops are must to be here.
I was using canon 180mm Macro lens with f16 aperture to increase DOF, as water was moving berries away from a focus plane during a splash. Berries and fruits were hang on a rails with help of tiny fishing line.
The results are below

We had our very good friends visiting us for a 1.5 weeks. That was a fun! Have not seen them for about 10 years. They are still very nice and creative guys, we had a few (unfortunately) photo sessions done. The rest of the time was spent together in St.Pete, FL with vine, ocean and sun:-)

A cake from a Whole Foods Grocery, same technique as we have used HERE, except white background. White because it was for a microstock, as they like products on a white. Start feeling that we’ll need to shoot more like this, as these images age quite popular on iStock and Shutterstock.

Have decided to try micro-stock agencies, like Shutterstock.com and iStock.com. Loaded several photos, mostly water splashes I did a while ago. So far Shutterstock.com isthe best, it start producing a revenue from the fist day. Not much, but considering that I have just a few photos there, it looks promising.
So, it appeared that I need to have more water waves, splashes, etc in my portfoilo. I do not have hi-speed flashes like broncolor pilse (yet:-) , so I found a very simple but still very good solution: 3 canon dedicated flash units with remote trigger: It was a really messy setup.

We have shoot hundreds of the photos, hopefully there will be at least 10-15 good ones:-) However, the result was quite acceptable:
