Splish splash by vikdaddy

Splish splash

My new tripod had to be used today. I didn't want to go outside because it was quite windy, the sky was grey and the natural light wasn't very good, so I thought I'd do a water shoot indoors.

I set up the tripod in the kitchen and placed a cup on top of an upside-down pint glass in the sink. I filled the cup with water, placed a whiteboard behind it and pierced a hole into the lid of a bottle of water. I then turned the bottle upside down above the cup and let the camera take timed shots.

Anybody who has tried this kind of water photography knows that you need perseverance in abundance. It takes many shots just to get a few you're happy with, and I was left with two pictures from the many photos taken that I was pleased about. It was a close call, but I thought today's choice had an unusual shaped splash; it reminds me of a foetus!

Fantastic!! I've yet to try it but the next time we have a rainy day, that's what I'll be attempting. I'm used to taking a million shots to get a few good ones LOL.

great job and impressive patience! I've done a water shot myself and it was frustrating throughout but worth it in the end.

Love what you chose and the angle you chose as well!
