My First Time in Water Drop Photography

Have anyone of you notice the water droplet? Since Photography is my hobby, as an Entry Level in Photography I tried to have a little experimental about water drops on how to freeze time the motion and timing and the series of shots. Below are the Pictures I caption about Water drops subject to Photography is very Interesting and you will enjoy it. But I can say it takes a lot of patience because It's not really easy to take a picture of water drop you cannot depend on one shot but more, this is the kind of arts in Photography which you can learn to caption a different shape of water drop and splash. Some of the Photographer do this in studio or outside like rain water drop in nature, there is a lot of explanation and you can learn some techniques and additional to your Portfolio. In this subject I want to share some tips and my experiences about Water Drop Photography:

1. As an Entry Level in Photography Consider that you must have a tripod.

2. Do not forget to have a Shutter Release Cable to avoid shaking and take a great shots.

3. For your Water Drops you can use a Medical dropper or a small piece of plastic with a pinhole.

4. Optional you can try first to take Water drops photo in kitchen sink but make sure the sink is clean and no dishes, keep in mind (Practice makes Perfect).

5. Lighting is very important in Water Drop Photography if you don't have an External Flash you can use your built in flash and using some variety of lights.

6. Set your Camera to manual mode and focus on the point where the drops hitting the water. Put something or marker where you can adjust your focus.

7. Adjust your ISO to 100 to avoid to much noise or depending on the amount of lights.

8. Choose a fast shutter speed around 1/200 of a second or a multiple shots.

9. Aperture of f4 to f5 for DOF (depth of field).
