After almost 500 shots, I chose this image as my favorite. My original idea was to photograph a water droplet hitting a surface (either more water or a countertop). I was encouraged to try getting a spill if the droplet became too elusive. This image was taken during the third set of shots and this was the third color of water and the third background I used. With dark purple water in a clear bowl and a piece of paper that looks like water underneath and behind the bowl, this is the image I liked the most. The colors seem to merge together from the foreground to the back ground.
My setup included two small flash units on either side of the bowl set at 1/4 power and a turkey baster above to drop the water. I used a 60mm macro lens on my Nikon D80 DSLR camera. The exposure was set at 1/60 of a second at f/36.
Wow Susan super job on timing and love the colors. I really like how you captured each droplet of water and how they each have a shimmer of light bouncing off them...great lighting and composition
ReplyDeleteNice job Susan, great timing with the turkey baster and shutter. The color is nice and the amount of droplets were you able to capture.
