7.13 - Pour

slow shutter action of my breakfast,

actually I usually pour the milk in before the cereal. (which is apparently not normal...)

just reversed it today because I had to shoot this shot a few times before I got a decent looking 'stream' of cereal,

who'd want to repour soggy cereal anyways?

(someone stole my colored paper, I wanted a yellow background for this instead of a boring white one, doh)

Canon EOS 20D
1/40s f/4.0 at 42.0mm iso100 full exif

The reason you pour milk in after the cereal is because the milk is then evenly distributed throughout the bowl of cereal. If you pour in cereal on top of milk it just floats, therefore you have more milk and less cereal, and most of it won't even be covered in milk.

great job...white bg works...probably would be better if it was 'whiter'. don't think the yellow bg would work....it would interfere with the contrast between the cereal and bg.

at first, it reminded me of... how can i put this lightly, regurgitating (and don't you lie whoever is reading this, you know you thought that too).

it's a cool shot though, nice capture of action and the cereal is real crisp and clear.

what cereal is that?
