Hi All. I sure was surprised to win my first ribbon after only 80 entries!! See there is hope for anybody. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to look at, vote on, and comment on my picture. Here is how I did it.
I glued the cup to the table and put the table and the backround at about a 45 degree angle. The coffee in the cup is a piece of brown plastic that I coated with vegetable oil to give a shiny appearance. The milk spill on the table was a hard one. I tried whipped cream, fried egg whites, and dried acrylic paint. None of them worked. I ended up taking a picture of spilled milk, printing it out, cutting it and taping it on the table. It took about 50 shots before I got my timing down so that I could capture the picture at just the instant that the poured milk from the bowl landed exactly on the picture of the milk on the table without running off the table. Taking the picture and pouring the milk at the same time was a little tricky. Don't worry about all the spilled milk that ran off the table on the missed shots... my dog licked it up!! My wife thinks I'm obsessed with DP Challenge. She is right!! |
