No use crying over spilt milk: Stunning images capture the moment a sugar cube splashes into cup of tea

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.

Overall it took about four or five weeks to complete the task before he was happy with the results

Making a splash: Photographer Egor Signienko took hours to capture the images that show the tiny individual droplets of tea jumping from the cup

Among his methods he dropped sugar cups, threw cups into the air or pouring milk into tea and coffee

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.
