Finally got around to doing My homework from week 30 of AYWMC, the 4th Tripod week, ‘water splash.’
Food colouring added to water in a DDR lead crystal shallow bowl, card taped to the wall for contrast, camera on Tripod (well that was the homework) set to ‘fast continuous’ and large aperture and my able assistant dropping a grape from the extractor fan hood.
This was the best shot of all. Enjoyed it.
Happy New Year to all who stop by.
If interested, AYWMC is A Year With My Camera - a free, year-long beginner's photography workshop. You’ll progress from being a complete beginner to shooting off auto mode in less than 6 weeks. Then spend the rest of the year exploring composition, light, creativity and finding your style
I enjoyed the AYWMC course immensely. I certainly improved my composition skills, use the tripod a little more willingly(!), and continue to hone lighting and processing skills. No idea what my "style" is yet, I sort of skipped the landscape section, so I know it's not that genre!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the course, did you purchase the books? I still dip into them regularly - which shows learning's never completed!!!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond We did get the books, and have used them (and still look back at stuff). We’ve still got a few months to go to finish the course but it’s been quite superb and, though I probably shouldn’t speak for Carole, we’ve both got so much out of it.
Like this a lot! It’s fun seeing what you can get. On the whole I have enjoyed AYWMC & as Phil says have learnt some useful stuff, but I also think I have equally learnt a lot from 365 too. @30pics4jackiesdiamond not sure that landscape will be my thing either, doesn’t help when you live somewhere flat & the horizons are somewhat uninteresting! Also the app & the fb app were in the beginning an absolute nightmare! Phil has had to help me post most of them. If I had been doing this alone with no help on the IT side, I would have given up long ago!

Fun shot showing fun you had!!!
