Before Impact by Moosplauze on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Camera: Canon EOS 600D

Lens: Reversed Kit lens 18-55mm @ 55mm

Aperture: F8

Flash / Lights: Camera flash and 6 Halogen Lamps

Setup: Salad bowl with water, blue cotton underlayer, different backgrounds. Some Physalis alkekengi for orange color placed at the bottom of the salad bowl.

This is a photo from my second water droplet session I ever did. For creating the droplets a drilled a tiny hole into a little plastic bowl and filled it with water. It took a lot of patience to get the somewhat right dripping speed adjusted. I only figured it out, when I already took about 500 photos and was really tired. I have to use the timer on the camera to shoot a row of photos and with the build-in flash there is quite a pause between photos. But all will be easier once I get some experience doing these photos and hopefully I will be able to buy more equipment soon.

Thank you for watching, please comment if you like this!
