Inspired by the works of FN-ers that contain water, and generally not using the cameras Point & Shoot type, so for me that has these types, the challenge of doing the same thing with all the limitations in the camera (digital) type of P & S is .
My work related to the water I will discuss here, such as Air Trickle, Splash! , Drops of Water and Water Drop
Digital Wedding Photography
Water Trickle, Drops of Water and Water Drop
Requirements:
- Digital Camera P & S (we recommend at least 2 MP resolution, better yet if you have the ability to macro)
- Tripod, Monopods or objects that can be functioned as a camera holder.
- Flashlight or shiny objects such as spoons, used to pre-focus.
- The room with the lighting not too bright (roughly the size of the room as bright as the 4 x 4 with lights PLC 9 s / d 13 W).
- Source of water droplets (faucet, hose, straw or other) with a drop of about 2 or 3 drops per second.
The process of taking pictures:
- Set the water drops about 2 to 3 drops per second. The number of droplets per second depends on the photographer wants, free to experiment.
- Make a macro setting on the camera when there is, and enable the fill-in flash (no auto flash).
- Point the camera at the water dripping, do pre-focus (press the shutter button half). If you can not focus, bring the shiny thing on the water that dripped position to help pre-focus, if still not the focus, help with a flashlight. This is a critical step to obtain optimal results from water that dripped so clear and sharp.
- After the focus obtained through pre-focus, wait until the best water droplets appear, take a picture with the right timing. Should be done many times, so that later can be chosen the best.
- The condition above is not binding, do experiment with different lighting or angle.
S.p.l.a.s.h!
Requirements:
- Digital Camera P & S (we recommend at least 2 MP resolution, better yet if you have the ability to macro)
- A small bottle filled with water
The process of taking pictures:
- Setting the digicam flash fill-in position.
- Hold the camera with his right (or left)
- Hold the bottle of water with your left hand (or right)
- Perform pre-focus (see article above)
- Make a quick movement against bottled water as it spilled on it at once.
- The timing is right, press the shutter button fully.
- Same as before, several times to get the best results.
So little sharing of knowledge, may be useful and safe experimenting.
Here are pictures of water droplets with a variety of forms:
