I really love taking pictures of things that happen quickly. If that involves fluid dynamics I usually like it even more. This past week we took a whole bunch of really cool milk drop images that I need to post. Here are a few of my favorites. Our newest graduate student said that she sees why we like what we do so much. I guess it helps to have the right equipment too! These aren't quite exactly what I have in mind for the perfect shot, so I hope to take a couple more next week and get things just right. All of these photos were taken with a Canon 20D, Nikon 105 mm macro lens with Canon adapter, 580 speedlight flash, and a Timemachine timing box with infrared trigger. One of the interesting things you can do with a photo shoot like this one is try to take a series of drops at different stages of imact to get a sense of what happens at impact (that is the method that Worthington used, who was the first person to photograph water and milk droplet impacts). Another fun thing to do is compare and contrast the differences between a drop of milk hitting a surface like the one above, and a milk drop landing into a pool of milk. The difference is quite phenomenal.
