51NAH Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 After seeing this technique on another f*rum I thought I'd give it a shot. Feedback would be appreciated Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Just to help us - could you re-load at 300 dpi and (say) 1200x800 - they'll then fit on the screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51NAH Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Glad you like it! True "strobist" photos are taken with off camera flash/flashes (as I understand it. For this particular type of shot google "strobist water"). I couldn't do that due to lack of gear but setup a similar shot. Its simply an extreme closeup of water dripping into a black bowl, the colour on the water is a reflection of the backdrop behind the bowl - in this case my gf's sunlounger!! LOL I used a syringe to drip the water into the bowl, the camera set to take a series of shots. It took me a while to get the angles right but very happy with the results. Dan BTW these shots have only had a light crop and minor PP such as shadows/ mild saturation. The star on the water drop is part of the shot.

lordsux Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Cool pics 51NAH. I will explore this technique soon. I took a few test shots using motion detection for water drops a while ago. Can't find the images now though. Defiantly something I'm going to delve a little deeper into soon. Good link with some nice shots, I was thinking of doing a smoke shot similar to the one on that page for the 'Clouds' challenge. The link is also a great source for ideas and inspiration how different 'Challenges' can be interpreted and presented.
