Behind The Lens

Location

My side yard, with a sheet thrown over a fence as a BG.

Time

Around noon.

Lighting

Nope.

Equipment

Nikon Coolpix P90, solid color sheet for BG and i had my mother holding the water balloon and needle to pop it with.

Inspiration

Time Warp. Just got done watching an episode of the TV show Time Warp where they were popping water balloons. I thought its was awesome looking so i decided to try it for myself.

Editing

Darkened the BG to make the water POP.

In my camera bag

Canon T3i, 18-55 & 55-250mm lenses, lens wipes, large ziplock bag, pocket knife and band aids(im quite accident prone lol).

Feedback

Just keep trying different settings till you find one that works. No better way to learn than to try till you get it right :)
