Water play no. 1

Creativity was illusive for most of today. I snagged a bit after watching some YouTube tutorials.

I am learning more about water splash/drop photography. I started with just a watering can and a few of my dried roses with the camera set on high contrast mono. Perhaps I should have used a different setting but that is for next time. I next need to figure out how to back light my water splash since I don't own a speed light set up but, for me photography in general is a road of discovery so onward.

@northy @golftragic @joemuli @eudora You are all so kind, I've got more experimenting and splashing to do💧💧💧

[Richard Sayer]

Congratulations on your experimenting - I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Super cool, it''l be fun seeing where you take this!

[Kate]

Isn’t it fun to learn new things?

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Neat - good to experiment.

I know very little about artificial lighting but, couldn't you just use a regular spotlight placed in the right position and use a faster shutter speed to freeze the action? No doubt there is a logical reason why not but it isn't apparent to me.

An interesting experiment. Good luck!

I think it looks pretty good for a start up test run. I have a friend who does wonderful water drop photography. I think he uses flashlights- believe it or not!

[Jean]

Good for you for trying out splash photography! The only drops I have shot are raindrops on the window.

@vignouse @aikiuser @k9photo @ziggy77 @haskar @olivetreeann @jernst1779 Thank you all so very kindly. I just re-located my large developing trays so I can get wet again and not worry about the floors😁. Kinda amazing what one finds in the attic.
