RE: Photography challenge - water drops, patience, and Pluto Trigger

in Photography Lovers17 days ago

first i thought Pluto Trigger is a motion sensor trigger, but it is actually connected to the Water drop kit and "just" delays the shot few milliseconds that it takes for the drop to fall.
Tried something pretty similar but does not need all that equipment :D Smoke photography :D and it adds extra fun if you like to play with editing (idea for your next project :) )

some shots feel like you didn't have enough light so the shutter speed was not fast enough for the drops (those drops that splash out).

Another idea? not sure how complicated it would be. An aquarium type of bowl (flat sides) and positioning the camera straight with the water level, so you could get the drop below the water level and above the water level.

and i feel that to go from good to great is a bit of luck and a lot of light play.

I love smoke photography ❤️ we have been planning for a long time now to buy dry ice. I saw some fantastic photos, and I want to try this :) Oooh, that's a great idea to try above and below the water level. I will definitely try this. 👌 you are right about light. My husband also told me that :) I’m grateful for any advice, so thank you :) I will be back with my next attempts 😂

this one was i think incense stick. dry ice is cool but not cheap and a bit of a hustle to play with.

I know it is freaking expensive, and I don't even know where to buy it. We need to do research😂 but I will definitely try it one day…😂
