I took the photo in my apartmentTime
I started in the evening, after work. I had lots of attempts. I wanted to test my new Sigma lenses. When i finally started to "feel" the motion between drops sinking and image capture it was already night. But it all worth it. It was my first time doing thisLighting
I used only one flash facing the wall. What you see in the back is the wallEquipment
I used my old Nikon D90, Sigma lenses 17-70mm used on manual focus, a tripod, a Yongnuo 565ex flash and a small remoteInspiration
I saw amazing similar pictures taken with water, coloured water, milk etc on the internet. I decided to try. When i finally got my first on the focus attempt I couldn't believe it. I was happyEditing
There is no post editing on the photo. That part, the editing, I still need to learn :)In my camera bag
I have my D90. The tripod. My old 50mm, 1.8 and my latest aquisition, the 17-70 mm, 2.8-4 Sigma lense. I also have 2 Yongnuo flashes and a pair of Yongnuo triggers. Low budget but reliable equipment wich I recommend to newcommersFeedback
If they want to do it just do it. It is not hard. It only requires the minimum of equipment and of course a lot of patience. Use a coloured glass. A small table near to the wall. Play with flash position and the flash distance related to the glass. Fix your camera in a position and focus on the glass. You can control the flash with the built in flash of your camera. Choose the exposure around 1/160 or 1/200. Adjust the aperture. Start dropping the water. If the focus is not right, change it and try again. Play, change, drop the water, focus and shoot. Have fun. You will be amazed in the end with what you have achieved.
