- law1ess, on 10/11/2007, -0/+72BREAKING: glass
- BigEasy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+57It's sad to see that the Glasses are breaking up. They seemed like such a nice couple.
- enderiii, on 10/11/2007, -0/+48I can't wait until people ask that question about flash...
- DeathJux, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32WTF is with "The Evil One"? Why was that included with the others?
- JonTheGoose, on 10/11/2007, -4/+32The "breaking wine glass" is probably one of the most over-done high speed photography shots ever, next to the "drop of water in a pool of liquid" shot.
- acu8509, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22im pretty sure that the headline link is the source. that sir is a blog link. but bravo on the fine digg in any case.
- jojojellybean, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Don Davis was composer on the matrix films not cinematographer . The bullet time in the first movie was done with 35mm still cameras, and with CG in the last 2.
- Quiwi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18Should have used "Breaking:" in the title
I'm imagining something like
BREAKING: [PICTURES] The Most Beautiful Glasses you will see today!!!
:-P - QuidnuncQuixot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Red, green, and blue are the additive primaries; cyan, yellow, and magenta (often taught, incorrectly, to children as blue, yellow and red) are the subtractive primaries. When dealing with light, you use RGB. When dealing with pigments, you use CMY.
- acu8509, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14probably not the best idea. the glass would be moving too fast for you to get such a clean shot as this guy did (motion blur would be a huge factor). with your method it would require a VERY high speed film. Best bet would be using a sound-activated shutter with a multiple shot mode imo.
- themuffinman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Owned.
- FireTime, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Amazing photos but this guy is not allowed anywhere near my wine glasses.
- jimbs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11These photos are typically done with a sound triggered flash. Take a look at http://www.diyphotography.net/universal_sound_and_optical_slave_flash_trigger
- protocolor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10it appears splutphoto does.
- Trihedralguy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Now I want some Kool aid
- expliquezvous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8my conservative utah work firewall won't let me get to the original site, it's blocked & tagged as pornography.
someone must've misread SPLUT as SLUT - AlanLivingston, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Assuming noone Dugg you up, at least three.
- czimmerman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Blocked as pornography. Thanks guys. "But I just wanted to see glasses breaking!" Yeah, they'll put that one over.
- mklopez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7By "source:", I mean the source that provided the link to the material, not the original source of the material.
Would it be easier to put: "found via..." ? I just want to give a little credit to the blog (after all, I am using their description) - samuelcotterall, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7It's all about the flash, rather than the shutter speed.
Digital SLR, decent flash lighting, lights out and a high ISO. - Essefgy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Oh, I thought you were talking about the glasses.
- dagamon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I know the website is a bit rough, but I had no idea about the digg. Hard times. Anyway, no photoshop, one picture per break, and thanks for the "awesomes."
- ToBuns, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5More likely, this uses a slow shutter speed on the order of 1/40 or so and engage the flash to freeze the action. No doubt about it being an SLR camera though. But the image is frozen with a strobe flash rather than a fast shutter.
- Samurailink3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5A zip file of all the broken glass photos for your viewing pleasure (taken from the site): http://www.mediafire.com/?8ztdywmswb6
- Miche1987, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Seems like you switched your links around, Mr. Lopez.
- mathew_bug, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4The high ISO is not the key. The key here, as in all photography, is lighting.
These shots are usually set on a room without any lights on. The camera will be set to 'bulb' (which is to have it capturing light for how long you wish) and then the flash will be triggered by a small microphone capturing the sound of a colision (for example, the 8-ball with the glass) placed on an electronic circuit plate - connected to the flash. - CaptMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4There's an extensive article on getting these kind of shots in issue #4 of Make magazine. In fact, I think Make even sells a kit that has most of what you need for it. Back issues can be ordered here: http://store.makezine.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=25
- letdowntourist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I'm sorry, but did you read his comment? I know it was misspelled, but you missed the meaning entirely.
- eddiemun, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Make your own camera that does the same thing.
http://www.makezine.com/images/04/p102_109strobe.pdf - CerMakAlot, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7Do the pictures look like they are moving a little to anyone else? Like an optical illusion? Maybe it is alllll this acid.
- enderiii, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4You mean tell that to *light*.
briarmoss must have gotten an A in grade one painting class though. - anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5CAPITAL LETTERS
- redmaxx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Tell that to an LCD.
- wisie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Lovely shots but boy that would be a messy process
- WaterDragon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41. Get many cases of wine glasses and fill with colored liquids
2 Have them dropped, three at a time
3. Snap away
4. Discard all the uninteresting pics
5.Only show the best one to everybody. - pingviini, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I always though it had something to do with acoustic beat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)
as in if you have one tuning fork at 42 hertz and another at 40 hertz, there will be 2 pulses of sound every second.
So... if yellow pigment reflects yellow light ( y-hertz) and blue pigment reflects (b-hertz), then the interference beat is seen as green (y-b hertz)
I thinks that makes sense, but I just made it up. - Schrammie, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7Digg this down.
- dragonlor20, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You must be kidding. Simplicity goes a really long way, flash just makes you sit there a really long time.
- fpcyber, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7I wish someone would give a tutorial on these kind of shots
- Arkonnan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I wonder if he gets a discount for buying glasses in bulk.
- m0j0j0j0, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Bitch much?
- SteveMax, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Add fast lenses and a quick DSLR to get the right moment frozen like this.
- machambi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2the wonders of modern cinema, sighhh !!
- jaypatrick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2From a technical perspective, doing these 2 shots on your own can teach a photographer quite a bit about lighting, shutter timing, depth of field, etc...all essential to becoming a good photog. Why do you think they are done so much?
- cklol, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2"...who not only knows exactly when to release the shutter..."
You do realize that he probably shot these at 12 frames per second and chose the best from his hundreds of shots, right?
*sigh* - SkwidSpawn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The combination of absorbitive pigments reflects light at a lower wavelength than either color seperate, hence blue+red=purple, red+yellow=orange, yellow+blue=green, so in a way you're right.
- Firehed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah, when glasses are falling at 3000+ft/sec, you'll need a sub-millisecond shutter speed. You don't even need an SLR to take a shot like this, although you can expect that most people who would attempt this kind of shot owns one. And you most certainly don't need a specific brand.
- kashmir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1great. that said: what's with all the pictures on digg these days? Could we please have a picture section? there are thousands of great pictures on the web. if people start posting them all on digg, this might well be the end of the world...of digg.
- freakout1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I like the "blue wave" photo the best out of all of them: http://www.splutphoto.com/100%20Shot%20Browser/pages/bluewave.htm
