Milkdrop happens to be the name of an awesome win-amp plugin, and quite a suitable name for this photo. Taken using a plate of milk, two dyes, an eye dropper, a bucket and tripod. For this shot I actually gave it a bit of an extra squeeze to get two drops going at once.
It was taken using a 40D with a EF-S 60MM USM macro. I considered using a circular polarizer but I’m glad I didn’t. I’d be taking more at the moment but my balcony is cast in shadow.
The only post processing applied over the image is a B&W filter and a slight contrast change. Click through for higher resolution.

Hey Nic
I would like to orgainse a copy of this photo for a friends birthday which is the 13th April. How do I get this organised? You mentioned that you had some deal with a print place near Defcredit, as I would like to put it on a small canvas block as I think it would look awsome!!! What do you think?

Hi Bert.
The printing place next work won’t do printing on this basis for me as it isn’t their core business
It’s up for print on RedBubble.com HERE
Due to the size of the image this one can only be printed at around 305mm x 203mm; RedBubble won’t allow you to print it any larger. I had to seriously crop the image, and as you can tell it’s going to be hard to re-stage to get it perfect.
I’ve seen their canvas prints they are quite nice, but the outside edges aren’t printed on.
Another place you could try is snapfish.com.au; again I’ve seen their canvas and these are quite good, they use HP equipment, and they print right around the edge, you have to be careful with this though as it can crop the image too much.
They would be two places I can recommend, if you want to use snapfish get back to me and I’ll send you the high resolution version of the photo.
Thanks
