Behind The Lens
Location
This photo I shot indoor, with a set very simple: I put a baking pan over the sink in the kitchen, as I used the water dispenser faucet by adjusting the aperture. The daisy I took in the backyard.Time
in the early afternoonLighting
As lighting I used a flash, in TTL mode, a Nikon Sb910 in order to freeze the water drop.Equipment
I used my Nikon d3200, a tripod, a remote control, the flash Nikon SB910 and the Nikkor 105mm f/2.8.Inspiration
It wasn't a planned shot but came about by chance: they were my first attempts at macro photography, I had just bought my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 and to practice I wanted to try to photograph the drops of water, but in a different way from the others. In the afternoon I have used many different subjects to compose the scene and Daisy was one of many.Editing
As post production I just straightened the photo and nothing elseIn my camera bag
My kit usually includes: the Nikon D3200, Tokina 11-16mm, Nikkor 50mm f / 1.4 G, nikkor 105mm f / 2.8, ND filters, a tripod (Manfrotto 055XPROB with Junior Geared Head), lens cleaning kit, a torch, multipurpose kit, a remote control, Plamp,spare batteries, spare memory cardFeedback
Photographing water droplets has now become something very trivial. A photographer should always try to take new pictures, not to copy them. My advice is to use your imagination and make a lot of shots! In that afternoon I took almost a thousand photos, good have gotten 6! It takes a lot of patience! Equipment as necessary to make these photos need: a tripod, a remote control, an external flash and a water dispenser that can be built or even replaced by a cock in my case.
