Gandhi and Fingerz Inspired Cliche shots

Liberalis · 07-12-2005, 14:18

After reading recent posts on this subject, I thought I would try again, but this time with water, Milk, and Cranberry Juice, oh and a touch of wine (which did not go to waste) ..... Cheers for the idea's guys.

I've also incuding two images of the set up used to take the following photos

Hope you like them, and of course I welcome all comments, be they good or bad.

Water:

Milk: (went for highlight background instead of black)

Rose Wine:

Cranberry Juice:

How I set it up: (apologies for quality, used phone cam)

Hope you like them.

The third milk one is my favourite..

Thanks for the pics of the setup...might give these a go myself..

Warspite · 07-12-2005, 14:58

So thats what an ironing board is for

All great pics - especially the final milk pic, almost looks like CGI

Liberalis · 07-12-2005, 15:08

Adjustable height, wide level flat surface, light-weight .... can't think of any other use for it, lol

Cheers for the comments

Now we should do more of that, showing the setup used. Nice work chap!

Agreed. I like it.

And nice work on the shots. Really looking forward to getting my flash now.

Gandhi · 07-12-2005, 16:58

all nice shots dude.

How may exposures did you take?

Mine was 200 ish.

Probably got around 70 good ones!

Liberalis · 07-12-2005, 17:27

thanks,

I took about 300, and get back about 50 (there was a fair bit of trial and error)

I got lots of almost the same picture, but I guess thats where the skill is, in the timing

Jonny · 07-12-2005, 17:53

The 3rd milk shot is my favourite too

By the way, what's with the super-heavy JPEG compression? The artifacting is really noticable in them.

Liberalis · 07-12-2005, 18:16

I did'nt want to slow things up too much, there's 9 images in the one post, or did you mean the last two ?

Matty · 07-12-2005, 18:56

good stuff Kris, everyone should have a go at these things!

Yes a great thread, I am going to have a go at this myself time permitting.

barrymoir · 15-01-2006, 16:33

great shots, and thanks for showing the setup, i was just reading a book last night on studio shots and wondered about doiing something, you spurred me on a bit.

Venomator · 15-01-2006, 17:17

Excellent showing - thanks for sharing ! I particularly like the first one as it is a different take on the theme with good old water !

Your set up is incredibly simple and as we do not use our ironing board ... !

What did you use to drop into the liquids ... just drops of the same ?

Liberalis · 15-01-2006, 17:33

Cheers guys, it was just drops of the same liquid using an old blower, just got to remember to put my finger over the little hole in it.

mrgubby · 15-01-2006, 17:51

What is an "Ironing Board" ??? , are they only available in Cannon Fit or do they have universal fit ??. Would I be able to get one from my local Jessops ?
