Top 100 photos

MILK DROP CORONET
1. I chose this picture because the read is a eye catcher and the drops on white leading into the center of the paint captures your eye.
2. I read about how it was very hard for the photographer Edgerton had a real hard time trying to capture the moments of when the milk hit the table. It was too dark so he had to used a lot of equipment and bright lights to capture the milk hitting the table.
3. In order to get the picture of things happening so fast like a milk drop you have to get a tube and fill it with milk and make sure the milk comes out as one drop every few seconds. Those drops then pass through an led which triggers the camera to take the picture. This process happens every few seconds and is continuos.
4.
this photo is one of my personal favorites because when the bullet goes through the apple it really catches your eyes of how destructive it is and the destruction leads to the bullet. 
this is one of harolds edgertons most famous photos called "The milk drop"

LUNCH ATOP A SKYSCRAPER 
1. I chose this photo because the line of men and the balancing in the photo is very eye catching. also the back ground of the photo is very interesting and beautiful. 
2. I read that is photo was taken when young men were taking a lunch break while trying to build Rockefeller stadium. They had to ropes or any gear tied to them and this photo is used in New York today to symbolize how New York is unafraid to take risk and tackle hard projects like this one. No one knows who took this photo nor do they know who is in the photo but it is most reproduced photo in New York.
