These amazing pictures prove there really is no use crying over split milk - when you can capture the precise moment a sugar cube spectacularly splashes into a cup of tea.
The stunning pictures have been causing a stir since keen photographer Egor Signienko started using sugar cubes and milk to create the extraordinary effect.
He spends hours painstakingly pouring milk and firing sugar cubes into cups of tea and coffee from different heights and angles just to capture one perfect image.
Egor, 23, uses nothing more than the table he places the items on to photograph his amazing work without any photographic trickery.
He said: 'I love tea and coffee very much and drink a lot of it, often coffee.
'It seemed like the ideal thing use as a subject for my photography when I was thinking of ideas and trying to realise them in my head.
'On each picture I outlaid one or two hours - then I would print the photos, see if they were perfect and if there were any problems I would work it out and re-shoot.
'Overall the set took maybe four or five weeks to complete and for me to feel entirely happy with it.
'I used all different methods to create the splash - from dropping sugar cubes, throwing cups up in the air or simply pouring milk into tea and coffee.'
Egor, from Donetsk, Ukraine, studied drawing and painting then decided to branch out and began taking pictures.
He got his first camera just two years ago and only his first professional camera one year ago just a few months before taking these images.
He added: 'I saw a photo with the splash on the internet a long time ago and always wanted to do something similar.
'Then this idea came to me so I did three pictures as a result. Then I wanted to do an exhibition in local art cafe but the minimum pictures had to be 10 so I did more.
'These are the only pictures I have done like this at the moment but in the near future I hope to do a similar series with alcohol - such as wine, beer and more.'

You should also take care that you don’t get too close to your subject (Specially if its a wild animal or a hot chick) otherwise your photos will become blurred. The nearest focal distance for most cameras including the digital ones is about three feet so if you get closer than the focal distance of your camera, your pictures will not come out nicely. Most of the digital cameras have an auto-focus feature and they will focus on whatever is in the center of your photograph. In order to improve the photo quality, you should move the subject further from the focal center (Take care not to push someone off the edge).
In the worst case scenario , if your photo has a little bit of blur, it can be fixed using different photo editing softwares like Adobe Photoshop. They have a sharpen feature that should take care of the small amount of blur. Don’t overdo it as that can spoil the photograph totally, so make a backup before you start editing. In cases where the photos are extremely blurred, it is not possible to repair them effectively (Say goodbye to your photography career).
The best way to get your horizon in a straight line is to simply line it up with view finder of your camera. Keep in mind that the edges of your frame in your viewfinder or LCD screen will be the edges of the actual image and will be the reference point for the eventual viewers of your photos to work out whether your shot is straight or not.
A common issue in digital photography is the background for your shots. Examine carefully the space behind your subject to see what else is being covered in the image (If you see something dangerous..leave your camera and run). Decide whether you want the background in focus or nice and blurry and adjust your focus accordingly.
If there is not adequate light, you can use your flash or the night vision mode if available in your camera. Remember that both these methods will only be effective at short range only.
If your photo is already bland then why not make it black & white by removing all the colors. That will give an aesthetic touch to it, and believe me when I say that black & white photographs have their special way of conveying an antique, sentimental feeling that isn’t possible in color pictures.
