single photos Milk Crown

After LOTS of tries, I was lucky to get this image. The leading

edges are a bit soft, but I still like the overall look. What do

you think?

You have really got the splat! An intresting picture.

I dream to have this kind of shot ! How many tries before getting this wonderful job ?

It seems to be that this image feels a bit too unbalanced. Everything is happening on the right and nothing really pulls my eye back into the peice.

 

It looks cool though.

I "shot milk" in two sessions. In the first, I experimented with lighting, focus, f/stop and timing-- but I had a visible background. This image came from the second attempt when I tried for a black background. In all, I shot about 400 images and like this the best (although I got lots of other interesting "crowns").

Now there is what digital photography can do for you. You can shoot 400 images to find one, and not have to pay two thousand dollars for developing. I commend your patience, and the photo is nice, too. Thanks for posting.

Very interesting study. I would have only hoped for better color, I guess. The milk looks awfully pale in the vertical walls where it's obviously very thin. Perhaps softer and more full lighting would have helped.

 

However, congratulations on a pretty decent catch, even if it did take 400 tries .

Great Picture, and man you have a cool name!!!;)

Could have been brighter

WOW. This is macrophotography :) LIke a small crown :)

Regarding the comment above, yes the shot was inspired by Doc Edgerton's work. I first learned about him from the 1985 Nova episode on PBS. I don't know that I'll be advancing to apple-piercing bullets anytime soon, however.

Very Good
