B&W water shots

ok ive only done these twice so i'm not the best just yet, iv'e just got to get my timing to a tee.

i think ive cracked it apart from my ISO must have been too high as it looks grainy!



1.

Nice shots...but up the exposure!

the darker ones were my first attempt. my B&W ones were my second attempt lol

Doesn't look too grainy to me... nicely done!

i think the grianyness adds to it as it makes the image look sharper in the foreground

nice shots! I've always wanted to play with this kinds of drop-photography, but never have.

its quite easy and fun.

it gets very messy (if thats the right word lol) /wet.

Cool try mate!

Loving number 1 and 2.

I need to have another go at these soon lol

once again,...my thoughts exactly

i filled a glass vase right to the top so it had a film around the edge (like when you fill a glass and it will slighty be above the rim)

then you set up your tripod next to the vase. and put a standard table lamp behind it.
next turn your camera to AV and WB - Tungsten and manual.

to drip the water i used a cup and some kitchen roll.
you soak the kitchen roll in the water and hod it above the water, when you see it about to hit you press your shutter.

i did these pictures in the dark so it would creat better shadows and reflections.
