Connecting Essay 3

In the image below the photographer has captured the drop of food colouring into milk. The splash has been captured as it bounces back up before settling into the milk. The colour of the food dye mixes well with the food dye and therefore it shows off the passing of time through the idea that the drop is only midway through dropping and gives the person looking at the image a chance to thing about how it got to that point and how it ends up. The simple editing of the photograph means that you can still see the different colours in the image and this helps show off the dilution of the food dye and this again helps add to the idea of time passing. 


In my images I was able to capture the drops when I did them and was able to do it in different colours. These images worked well in a four and showed the same theme. I felt that these worked well together and highlighted the passing of time as all the drops are captured at different stages of the drop process. I used the different colours to also show off the passing of time so people could see how different colours fell and the kind of splash that they made. The fact that all these images are at different points of the drop it gives the idea of the full process as they show the complete process with all the colours involved.


The images both uses the idea of capturing the drop of food colouring into a substance and capturing the splash of it, these both rely on this to show the passing of time and therefore the use of four images helps show this. The images are similar in the fact that they all focus on the line created on the drop. There are many similarities in the fact they only show the drop and nothing else, this very simple style maintains focus and helps the image lead to the theme of the photograph, the simple style also does distract from the image or lose focus.
