Three Forks

Made this as I was playing with a new flash. No post processing at all (not even cropping) and more interestingly, only one fork.

Just a guess here, but the EXIF on that one is 30 seconds, so I think this is a creative long exposure. In otherwords, very dark room, three different gels for the flash, and between each flash (which is set off manually) he moves the fork and changes the gel. Like I said, just a guess.

Very astute guesser.

That also explains why the forks are close to standard CMY colors. The left-most fork used a red filter blocking light, during the blue and green filters the white background shined through (Blue + Green = Cyan). Second fork was the green flash (Red + Blue = Magenta). Third fork was the blue flash (Green + Red = Yellow). I didn't actually plan the order. I gotta thank dumb luck for that.

I got the idea while I was playing with red and blue filters on the flash with a stationary fork from different angles. On the camera LCD I got a very cool electric-blue to electric-red gradiant on the tines of the fork, but when I pulled it up on my PC the red didn't quite match the blue. I must have bumped the camera. Two tries later and I got a decent enough shot to stop trying.
