Experiments with water. . .
through Flickr I h ave seen some amazing pictures using water, water drops, catching water falling etc... I LOVE it. water is amazing and so powerful. I have not done a lot of action photography where you capture moving objects, so to say the least I have been trying to "catch" water for a few months now. I tried to put my shutter speed at the fastest possible. That did not work. not to mention my focus was off. Since I am mostly a natural light photographer I do not work with flash a lot. although I am learning more about it.
I was so frustrated trying to capture these drops from my kitchen sink, then I remembered something one of my teachers taught us. "flash stops motion" {duh!} flash and slow shutter speeds can do some pretty cool stuff. SO I thought, "hmmm...lets try this flash thing" and what do you know. here are my water droplets! Perfect and beautiful. I am so happy with them. After many many failed attempt. Now that I know more about this I can experiment.. look for some more cool experiments with water in the future.
Go try this out, it was really fun. And if you do and post it let me know so I can come and see.
