Milky Photoshop Experiments (Photo 52 Week #4)

A plate with milk, a camera and Photoshop were the ingredients for this photo series.

Ein Teller Milch, eine Kamera und Photoshop waren die Zutaten für diese Fotoserie.

Milk Droplets / Milchtröpfchen
Photoshop Experiments

I actually had a different plan for the photos on the #photo52 topic of "Black", but unfortunately that didn't work, but I will make these photos on another day.

Why didn't it work? I just couldn't make it out of my comfort zone.

Ich hatte eigentlich einen anderen Plan für die Fotos zum #photo52 Thema "Black / Schwarz" gehabt, aber das hat leider nicht funktioniert, wird aber nachgeholt.

Warum es nicht funktioniert hat? Ich habe es nicht geschafft, aus meiner Komfortzone zu kommen.

Color photos - reversed colors

That's why I thought about converting a white picture into a monochrome picture, you get a black and white picture and the conditions for this weeks topic "black" would be fulfilled.

Deshalb habe ich mir überlegt, wenn man ein Weißes Bild in ein monochromes Bild umwandelt, bekommt man ein Schwarzweißbild und die Bedingungen für das Wochenthema "Schwarz" wären erfüllt :)

Black & White photos - reversed colors

A plate filled with milk, the camera on the tripod and the rest of the milk filled in a small plastic bottle - done.

Well, almost done, because then I hung the small bottle on the lamp above the plate, and after focusing the camera on the center of the plate in manual mode, I have opened the small hole that I have made in the bottle cap, so that now slowly but steadily small drops of milk fell into the plate, which I tried to take pictures of using a fast shutter speed.

Einen Teller mit Milch gefüllt, die Kamera auf das Stativ und die restliche Milch in eine kleine Plastikflasche gefüllt - fertig.

Naja, fast fertig, denn dann habe ich die kleine Flasche an die Lampe oberhalb des Tellers gehängt, und nachdem ich die Kamera im manuellen Modus auf die Mitte des Tellers fokusiert hatte, habe ich das kleine Loch, das ich vorher in die Verschlusskappe der Flasche gemacht hatte, geöffnet, so dass nun langsam aber stetig kleine Milchtropfen in den Teller gefallen sind, welche ich mittels schneller Verschlusszeit zu fotografieren versucht habe.

Black & White photos

This is the easiest way I know to photograph droplets, but it takes a lot of patience to pull the trigger at the right time (remote trigger) and get a drop reasonably sharp.

These were my first attempts, which I made a few years ago, and I have not succeeded in taking a perfectly sharp photo nor one of those cool droplet photos that can be seen so often, but I still liked these 4 pictures the best out of the few hundred photos I have taken that afternoon.

Auf diese Art kann man Tröpfchen auf die einfachste Weise fotografieren, aber man benötigt viel Geduld, bis man den Auslöser zum richtigen Zeitpunkt abdrückt (Fernauslöser) und einen Tropfen einigermaßen scharf hinbekommt.

Das waren meine ersten Versuche gewesen, welche ich vor ein paar Jahren gemacht habe, und weder ist mir ein vollkommen scharfes Foto, noch eines dieser coolen Tropfenfotos gelungen, die man so oft sehen kann, aber diese 4 Bilder haben mir trotzdem am besten gefallen von den einigen hundert Fotos, die ich an diesem Nachmittag gemacht hatte.

Color photos

After loading the photos onto the PC, I had to clean them a little with Photoshop and then play with the settings and export the different versions as JPEG.

Doesn't sound like much work, I know, but it still took a while for the photos to be finished ... and it was a lot of fun 😊

Nachdem ich die Fotos auf den PC geladen hatte, musste ich diese noch ein wenig mit Photoshop säubern und und dann ein bisschen mit den Einstellungen spielen und die verschiedenen Versionen als JPEG exportieren.

Klingt nach nicht viel Arbeit, ich weiß, aber es hat trotzdem eine Weile gedauert, bis die Fotos fertig waren ... und es hat Spaß gemacht 😊

    This is awesome, Johann! @johannpiber

    I am a hit and miss with this kind of photography, but you really nailed it and the results were different than you wanted at first, but, I think you hit a home run with what you edited it with.

    Fabulous and I will have to get your ear on what I am doing wrong. ;)

  • @bashadow(70)· 2401d

    I had a hard time just getting what I thought was a halfway decent shot of my ancient coffee cup. Maybe one day, in our next house, I can make a sort of studio for taking pictures and have a bunch of tools, but for now it is make due with what I have, and just take a lot of pictures at different settings and hope for a nice shot. At least with digital you don't have to pay to have 100+ bad pictures developed. :-}

    My favorite image above is the black and white reversed one with the short spike and the round drop just above the spike.
