Chocolate Rain Drops
by ShaneBlake

Comment:
some one asked during the challenge how this was set up, so i thought i'd give a quick rundown :

basically, i set up a bowl of milk on the counter and mounted my d70
and tamron 90mm to the tripod just slightly higher than the bowl. i
manually focused on my finger at the surface of the water in the
middle of the bowl.
for this shot, the sb-600 flash was set in wireless mode just beside
the bowl to the left of the lens with a lumiquest ultrasoft to give
the soft lighting. with a turkey baster, i dropped chocolate milk
into the bowl and just kept my finger on the shutter button (taking
about 25+ shots per baster full)
in total, it took more than 150 shots to get this one to turn out.
hurray for digital...
the real difficulty was getting the drops to hit in time w/ the
shutter and flash and to make all the drops hit the exact spot i'd
prefocused on...
because of the kitchen lights and the flash, i never got the white
balance to a point i was happy with, which is why the milk is too blue
and the chocolate milk too orange... oh well. next time i'll know
better...

i think i would have liked a darker background so the milk splash stood out more...

other than the very bad pun in the title, what does this have to do w/ the contest?

i do understand where you're trying to go with it, but without the pun, it's just a picture of moonrise behind a skyscraper.

as for the photo itself, it's fairly well framed and executed, though it would have been nice had it been a bit sharper.

Looking to get back in.
