"Behind the Lens" Blog

The Ripple Angle

Posted on January 26, 2014 at 10:15 PM

Hey guys! Happy "Blog" Sunday!:D

Originally I was going to write a completely different article but due to the weather not being very clear, I had to brain storm some quick ideas. What I eventually came up with is, "water drip photos" or slow motion photography. I've never tried it before nor have I given it much research but I was actually quite happy with the results. 

So first for this I used:

-A clear bowl

-Red food coloring (you dont have to use food coloring it just helps you see the water better)

-And the most obvious my sink plus counter.

Now if I had more time I probably would have set up things a little differently but for now this did just fine. I set my cameras exposure to 1/60th, the aperature to f/5.6 and I used my 55 mm lens on this. I had my camera also set to continuous shooting. With all the camera details out of the way I played around with the sink until I got the right speed for water drops. I had a lot of photos that got sent straight to trash, but I had a few that were exactly what I wanted. 

This is super fun to do and creates great photos, try it out! Tell me how you capture "water drip" pictures if you have a different way :)

Thank you always, for reading. Have a great week everyone!
