Water Splash

Had a try at freezing motion in water a splash's just could not get every thing in focus this was the best I could achieve.

A shot I aspire to Peter, yours is awesome! Love the colour of the water too

[Peter]

@365anne Thank you for your lovely comments Anne the coloured water is actually antifreeze for the car diluted for use, would have been a little darker if neat, will be having another go sometime:)

[Jorlam]

Love that glowing green colour.. well done in catching the drop on top.
Amazing what we can get up to when the sky is yuk..

[Nova]

You have done better than I have Peter. I might have to give it another try one of these days.

[Peter]

@jorlam Thank you for your lovely comment, I'm not saying how many out takes there were other than to say it was lots, lol:)

[Peter]

@novab Thank you very much for your comment Nova I'm definitely going to have another go at it:)

[Sheralee S]

Great timing Peter! I found flash really helped me when I was doing these.

[Peter Grave]

Nice shot Peter.I did quite a few of them a couple of years ago when i was doing a challenge / tutorial and i will have a look at them .I think a higher shutter speed is in order and i placed lights around mine through coloured paper.

[Peggy Scroggins]

Fantastic job on color and details and also the reflections in the drop. FAV

[Babs]

Great job, not easy to do are they. Love the colour.
Have you seen Sarah's photos @pixiemac they are fabulous. http://365project.org/pixiemac/more-365/2017-01-07

Hey, you did it!! And you got a superb droplet crips and clear with awesome reflections. Great job Peter, and interesting that you used antifreeze. I hope your car didn't freeze up!

[Peter]

@bella_ss Thanks for the advise and comment Sheralee will be having another try:

[Peter]

@peterlgrave Thanks Peter very interesting will give it a try:)

[Peter]

@miata2u Thank you so much for your comment and fav, Peggy they are appreciated:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thank you for your comments and link to Sarahs fantastic image Babs that was the standard I was aiming for but fell well short:)

[Peter]

@stray_shooter Thank you for your comments and Fav. Ron, story behind the shot, studio setup outside against my workshop wall, glass dish filled with antfreeze on my workmate with a couple of old towel as base and backdrop, with a small pebble to create the splash, no flash just natural light, 95% of the shots were rubbish, then getting the hang of it and heavy rain stopped play, lol:)

[Photo Bird]

Great shot and like the colour. A lot of work but worth it!

[Emilie Cartoun]

Brilliant! Fav!

[Sarah Munnings]

Hi Peter, great splash 🙂
I had a look at your exif data and if you can increase your aperture to f10 - f14 I think it will help with the focus.

[Peter]

@photobird Thank you so much for finding the time to comment its appreciated:

[Peter]

@teiko Thanks for your comment and Fav, Emilie they are always appreciated :)

[Peter]

@pixiemac Thank you for the advise Sarah I had another go today with much better results but non are a patch on your fantastic image, will try again another day using your suggestions, for today's attempts ended up with three flash units 2 slaves and one on the camera this gave a much sharper image set my camera on manual focus ISO 200 on f8:)

[Sarah Munnings]

@pcoulson it's loads of trial and error! But great fun working it out, are you using your flashes on manual setting 1/64 as from what I've read it's the flash speed that freezes the drops:)

[Peter]

@pixiemac Just checked all three flash gun settings, they are all set at 1/125 second so will rest them to 1/64 on my next attempt, your advise is very much appreciated Sarah thank you:)

[Poppo Livy]
