For this image, I used a surgical needle to inject milk into clear gelatin – as I pushed the plunger on the syringe, I pulled it out of the gelatin to create the striped effect rather than just a blob of milk.

Art: It’s beautiful. The warm and soft lighting is very relaxing to look at. Thanks for such a great shot.
Flow: Two phase phenomena is being displayed here as the gelatin is injected.
Photographic Technique: The exposure and lighting is great, feels like the sun is in the background when the lamp is used.
This image is really cool! Its a very intresting idea and makes me want to try it. I the background light makes it even cooling, it makes it seem like something from out of this world!
This is a really interesting picture. It looks super alien, like jellyfish on a planet with orange oceans. It’s also really interesting that it wasn’t a slow mo capture or something with a really fast shutter speed, and that this was all trapped in the gelatin. It’s a good picture but it definitely gives me the heebie jeebies.
Fascinating photo. I wish I could see a video of how these shapes are formed! It looks a lot like plant life underwater. The brightest parts of your image are a little overexposed, though the resulting light streaming through the milk in front of it are quite well exposed – and reveals a pattern in the thickness of the gelatin. What size and type of container was this all in? I especially like how the top of the gelatin is reflective, giving the illusion that these shapes extend further beyond the top of the frame.
Really cool idea! I think you did a great job exploring something new and capturing the growth of this flow(even if it isn’t flowing!). You might want to experiemnt with other colors or liquids in both the visco-elastic material and the injected material.
Really cool, I like the backlight. As stated in class, it does have a bit of a sci-fi feel to it. I think the video of the experiment being done would help to understand what was going on.
the use of needles in this was a clever idea because the it made the shape of the injections very sharp. for the background, I think the lighting was a little bit too for my eyes. I think if you were to played with the editing software and adjust contrast/brightness.
Very Cool! Maybe you could play with the colors a bit to create more contrast. Maybe a dye would work as well. I like that you were able to capture the flow in the gelatin
At first galance, it just like some mysterious creature in a secret lab. The physics phenomena is illustrated clearly
I like how the flow is just stopped in time using the gel like substance. Personally, I would like if the background was darker, but the physics and framing is on point
Oooh this is super spooky! I already have cool ideas in mind that you could do to create an amazing sequence of video. Well done, I like it!
This is an awesome idea! I love the creepy feel it has and the light in the back gives the milk a nice contrast. The shapes of the milk are very unique and plant-like. Good job capturing the varying shapes of milk injection.
This reminds of the really cool gel-food art that you see all over the internet, very neat effect! I think the lighting overall is great but the really bright glow from the background is a little distracting. I wonder if this is the same as the effect that is seen when small objects enter water a great velocity (like bullets).
This image looks really nice, and I like how the light in the background makes the image feel very warm. This would make a really interesting video too I’d imagine.
I honestly think it looks better on the projector screen. It gives you a nice glow from the background. Maybe more of a contrast in color or inverting the colors would be interesting. It is a bit blurry though.
Very creative idea and I like how the colors came out in the photo. The overall softness of the picture make it unique.
Very interesting image. The image is both beautiful and odd. Did you think about trying a softer lighting or a more contrasting die in the jello?
Its unique to see the flow as the darker image with the brighter background. Trying to sharpen the image or finding some better focus might make the image object pop out more. Great photo.
Wow this looks really cool! I really like the way you could see the shadows of the fluid
I like the color and the framing of the image! The background light is a bit distracting but does increase the contrast.
What kind of lighting did you use? Really like the frozen world the photo expresses? This is just really cool looking, super cool that it is stuck like this.
Very creative idea. It makes for a very interesting image. The lighting is also very unique, and I’m curious how lighting from different angles would change how this image feels.
The patterns are very interesting and your photo is very clearly taken. It is able to focus in on the things we are interested in and I don’t have much to critique!
Great work. The picture look super cool. The idea is unique and awesome. Great work on the lighting and taking the picture.
Great idea. The difference phase between the shape of liquid looks awesome. I like the lighting on the background.
Like the streaking effect that is on display the gold color sticks out nicely from the liquid. Like the bright calming colors displayed.
This is a very cool image that creates a very unique effect. I really like that you decided to do something that was different than everybody else. It is very interesting to see the contrast of a liquid fluid and a “solid” fluid.
This is a cool flow experiment. I like the dramatic effects of this image. The focus on the flow is great.
Super cool looking and Id very much like to see it in person. Maybe you could do it with a black background and whiter lighting to really highlight the white milk color so that all you can see in the photo is the milk lines. I think with better focus and improved lighting/editing it could turn out looking super nice looking.
