Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a wash pan in my light box.

Time

in the morning after work

Lighting

I had a 3 watt digital light shinning on a picture in the background to help reflect it into the water for more color and the flash on the camera was tilted up 45 degrees. 1/250 sec, ISO 100, F/8

Equipment

Canon 1ds MII, flash Canon 430EXII using a old tripod I have that is as solid as a rock with a Dynatran ATH-903 head.

Inspiration

I always Liked playing with water so on a cold winter day I went down stairs and started playing with a tub of water and a eye dropper with colored water in it.

Editing

used Lightroom to crop and clean up dust specs floating in water.

In my camera bag

5d MII

Feedback

Keep your cool, and practice your timing as to press the shutter after you press the eye dropper.
