There is nothing else more rewarding than shooting strawberries falling into artificial milk with your loved ones on a weekend. What more can you ask for hehe. Anyways for those of you which are interested in producing such shots well there is no better time than to try it now. Check this link out.
Some Pointers:1. The white is not milk. Milk will never be this white. The trick is to use coffee creamer mixed with water. The more creamer you put the more white it becomes.
2. Always wash the strawberries before attempting to drop it into the milk again if you don't you can see the "milk" on the top of the strawberry which is not pleasing.
3. Use a fast shutter speed e.g. 250 to freeze the movement.
4. If you are hand holding the camera like what I was doing place one eye in the viewfinder while the other is on your wife hands. As the strawberry you see the strawberry dropping that is when you press the shutter. Some trial and error would make it easier.
5. Always pre-focus your shots. 51 point 3D tracking does not work here hehe too short too fast.
6. Do it with someone it more fun that way. At least you have someone to share the moment with.

It's crazily brilliant idea to do shots like this. Should have maximise the photo & make the strawberry in bloody rich red ... thinking of it makes me drool :p
