Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 26 6:56 am)
Cool stuff so far gang. I've never really done drop shots so I 'll have to give it a go. To those intimidated by the idea, just give it a try. Otherwise, the theme is "liquid sculptures" so perhaps you could conceive some other form of it? ;']

Neat oil drop G. I guess the diffraction of the oil caused it to cast such a shadow. Is that a cymbal you are dripping on? :o)

I was and still am quite intimidated- My camera is not an SLR, just a run of the mill digital but thought I'd give it a go anyway :)
I kid you not, out of at least 100 shots I got only 2 that were any good.
Just stick with it and you'd be suprised at what you can acheive :)
Good Luck everyone :)
P.S. A tip. I found using a flash can make the clarity and sharpness so much better. :)
Show off! ;^P Good one Joe, thank you (and Ra3vyn) for sharing your process.

I find if you put a card with a barcode on it (or something easy to focus on) to exactly where the drop will be in the water - focus the cam on the barcode and then set it to manual focus you should be fine :)

Good job to all. gotta say I like the oil drop best with that awesome shadow. But I'm a simple girl at heart. :-) I have thought of trying this stuff but frankly, I can hardly keep my camera in focus and still for a flower shot! But maybe I'll give it a go.

I should have written down my camera settings :-)You settings are embedded in the image (EXIF data) I used Opanda iexif to read the information.

This month we want you to make a splash or two. With water, milk or any other liquids.The link is to Martin Waugh's web site just to give you some idea's of what can be achieved with lots of practice. He does provide a tutorial. Don't worry if you don't have his fancy equipment. A tripod, a bowl and jug works fine.
Most of all just have some fun!
