Et reklamefoto af glas er faldet ind i en tank vand med splash. Jeg havde en softbox – til at give en hvid baggrund-bag min fisk tank, at min søn ville falde glas ind, på kommandoen 3! Jeg havde også 2 speedlites med softboxes på, til siden og lidt i front lys glas. Det var bare så trial and error, plus held at få glasset og en god splash! Jeg derefter retoucheres og foretaget glas og splash mere blå i photoshop, naturligvis. mit mål var at gøre en karakteristisk produkt skud af glas, som du vil tage et andet kig på!

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this Photo in our shed in the back garden, with the help of my son. His job was to drop the glass into a tank of water on the count of 3!

Time

This can be taken any time of day, as it was shot indoors. The darker the room the better.

Lighting

As far as I can remember it was taken with 3 Canon Speedlites. One Speedlite on the background to keep it white as possible and the other two, on each side of the fish tank. All 3 lights set on manual, and at 1/16.

Equipment

I used a fish tank full of water and a piece of white card for the background. 3 Canon Speedlites, 550EX, 580EX, and an 580EX II. Canon 5D MKII mounted on a tripod, with the Canon older 100mm macro lens. Pocket Wizards Flex TT´s to fire the Speedlites, and my son to drop the glass into the water. Then it is just trail and error, until you have the shot you like.

Inspiration

I have been playing around for quite awhile with splashes, and trying to think up ideas how to use them with products to make an eye catching shot. A glass can be quite boring to shoot, but it normally holds a liquid. What if you take in out of its normal context, and have the liquid, water holding the glass!

Editing

There was not so much post-production, in Photoshop CS6. The most was cleaning up the background and making it pure white. With the glass and splash, I just sharpened and brought out the blue in Hue/Saturation.

In my camera bag

I am definitely a Canon man. I still use a Canon 5D MKII, would love the MKIII! I use mostly Canon L lens the 24-70mm, 70-200mm, and now and then 16mm-35mm. But, I mostly use the older 24mm Tilt/Shift lens for my architectural photography, and the Canon 100mm macro lens for most of my product photography. I also have the Canon 50mm f/1.4, which is fantastic for its price.

Feedback

The set-up is so simple. Just go onto YouTube, there are so many videos about splashes out there. Look up Alex Koloskov, he is the real Guru of splashes! This type of shot can be so easily taken with cheaper or second hand Speedlites and triggers. There is no real excuse.
