Splash Down

Hoping to refine the technique a bit, but still in need of some help with appropriate lighting conditions.  The light seems to bounce around quite a bit.  Back lighting seems better than front.  Also better control of the dripper would be great as well.  Images are taken in the dark, in a black frying pan filled with water, while dripping red food coloring, and shooting an off-camera flash wrapped in a purple plastic cellophane gift bag.  And after all the set-p was complete it was actually pretty fun to shoot!

Ker-Splash

It was sunny out today and into the high 50's and great light, so I took the day to try an outside set up.  This first attempt is again rather clumsy but as with many of these, practice should help improve the situation.  Also I'm all ears on anyone who has experience on how to improve these, or additional ideas.  

Splish-Splash Set Up

[Makeshift table (saw horses & plywood), styrofoam ice chest with water, eye dropper about 2', off-camera flash behind the chest, makeshift tri-pod (electrical light stand)]

70 Degrees in January

We had snow last week, temps in the 70's the last few days and another winter storm on the horizon.  Snow for now.

Indoor Firestorm

An old lawnmower wheel, red led, duck tape, and a fearless model 8-) Single exposure around a minute, with a flash right at the end.

Light Stencil

Apologize in advance for the blog hogging.  Single long exposure with home made light stencil.

Long Exposure with off Camera Flash

Still having fun... Basically the same set up as before only hit the image with a flash right at the end.

Light Works

Playing around with dark, light, and shutter speeds.   First attempts were clumsy but easier than I thought, and with a bit of practice and better set up, I think this could be refined to be really pretty interesting.  Post production was fairly minor and consisting of contrast and exposure values.  [flashlight + a couple of led's on the end of clothes pens+ gf1; 50mm cannon, iso 100, f6.x, shutter 10"+]
