[SOLVED] Physics Photograph

I need to take a picture of something (anything) and explain the physics behind it. I really want to get something cool, but due to my limit capablities I don't have many good ideas. Does anyone have any really good ones? Maybe something that shows some theory in action (does that make sense? :)?

How about doing a little bit about quantum mechanics and particle theory? You could take a picture of anything for that.

What about superconductivity?

Floating rings and blocks are cool.

Why don't you do what your teacher probably wants you to do and take a picture of something simple...

a yo-yo
wheel
marble works
etc

it really depends by explaining does he want you to be able to do the math for the toy

You could take a picture of an object sitting on a table and explain that it is stationary because the table pushes up with the same force that gravity pushes down.

Or you could get a glow stick and drop it from a high place at night, while taking a time lapse picture of it. You should notice that it gets fainter the farther it falls because it is moving faster.

If your project isn't due for a few weeks, you could take a picture of the upcoming lunar eclipse (Oct 28th I believe, but check first).
