This week I had the chance to work with water drops and milk drops. I still used the plastic bag with the small hole to make the drops. Some of them were into a pan of water while others were into a champagne glass (filled to the top).
Working with milk is different, especially for the lighting. I usually use one flash to the side, and it is aimed at the background. I found that I had to add some light to the other side so that it wasn’t all in shadow. I think I could still use a stronger light on that side.
This first picture was the drop going into the pan. The reflections were from a backdrop with red and white lines.
You can see the background more in this next picture. This drop is into a champagne glass. It’s interesting to see the difference in the drop when it is milk. The reflections on the surface look different too.
The next one is a drop into the pan. The reflection had hearts on it.
The background in this one is a red plastic sheet.
The last one has a white background. I was playing around with making it high key. I still need to work on this area.
Many of these look similar, but they are still all different. We may look similar to other people, but we are all different. God has made each of us unique, and He loves each one of us.
God created man in His own image,
in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
