Shot with my DIY intervalometer on a Canon 40D. I shot at 2816×1880 (Canon medium resolution) and panned across the image in After Effects. Still playing with output compression in AE, there are some banding artifacts that aren’t there in the original images.

Frames shot at 20 second intervals, put together here at 24fps.

Milk, food coloring, soap, plus a crop and white vignette in Lightroom. The shading around the edges is courtesy of the cup.

I played around on Tuesday night with a new light trigger – a device that fires my flash after a light beam is interrupted. These shots are of drops of milk falling into a surface of milk. Even with good tools it still takes a lot of patience to get one you like. I ended up with 200 cool images that I narrowed down to these three.

Milk drop just hitting the surface

The image above was a quick hit on flickr, getting over 500 views in just two days and becoming my second most favorited (sic) image.

Milk stream

I like the second image sideways better than straight up. The stream of milk looks much more mysterious this way. The final image came in third place on Wednesday night in competition at the Palo Alto Camera Club.

The images were all manipulated in Lightroom to bring out a little more drama from the lighting.

I should have colored the glasses yellow.

Did anyone NOT shoot pictures of people wearing 3D glasses today?

This shot was taken at a Superbowl party with a bunch of my west coast CMU friends – all Steelers fans.
