chris_nicholson 0 Posted April 10, 2002 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? Link to comment

marielou_dhumez 1 Posted April 10, 2002 I dream to have this kind of shot ! How many tries before getting this wonderful job ? Link to comment
jwolford 0 Posted April 10, 2002 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. Link to comment
chris_nicholson 0 Posted April 10, 2002 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").

afs760bf 0 Posted April 10, 2002 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. Link to comment
jwedehase 0 Posted April 10, 2002 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 . Link to comment

giorgio.luciano 0 Posted April 11, 2002 WOW. This is macrophotography :) LIke a small crown :) Link to comment
chris_nicholson 0 Posted April 11, 2002 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. Link to comment
