Coffee with milk - Part II

Wow! I can´t believe how many comments and favs I got on yesterdays upload: [link]

So I thought i would post this follow up-pic as soon as possible and also answer a few of the questions i got. But no...i´m sorry, but i wont go into HOW i capture these. I get sooooo many emails from people all over the web every week begging me to do so and i franky hasn´t got the time. Besides....i´m thinking about writing a book as those who has read my journal knows already.


Q: Is this really a photograph??? Not a 3D-render?
A: Yes of course it´s a photograph.

Q: How much postwork was done to it?
A: Pretty much nothing. As some of you know i photograph pretty much every subject there is...landscapes....flowers....models....you name it. And these drop-shots are definitly the photos i spend the least amount of time on post-processing. I usually only crop ´em and remove a few spots that´s ended up on my lens from splashing liquid. Therefor it kinda pisses me off whenever one of these photos gets "moderated" and moved into the Photomanipulation-gallery, because it most certainly is NOT that.

Q: Wow, your camera must be fast!!! What kind do you use?
A: I use a Nikon D300 at the moment. But it really doesn´t matter what kind of camera you´ve got. I´ve taken just as crisp drop-shots like that one with my small pocket camera. You only have to know HOW to capture them....which i wont go into now.

Q: You got lucky!
A: Eh...not really. It has to do with timing. And the more you "practise" the better your timing becomes. Nowadays whenever i try to capture drop-shots i usually get good results 9 times out 10 frames.

Q: Is it really coffee? Did you drink it afterwards?
A: Yes it is really coffee....and real milk....but no, by the time i was finished with it, it wasn´t all that warm or tasty for that matter.


Anyway....enough rambling. I hope you like this shot as well.

Thanks for "dropping" by! Have an amazing day!
