1. Change your viewpoint: Positioning
the camera almost level with the surface of the liquid allows you to
capture more of the drop’s reflection for an arty look.
2. Before the splash: You don’t have
to capture the splash to create stunning images. Capturing the water
droplets mid-flight can also result in beautiful images.
3. Inject some colour: Adding a food
dye to the liquid is an easy way to add striking colour. You can also
try adding different colours to the drop and static liquids.
4. Create multiple drops: Once you’ve
mastered single drops you can try to capture images of the collision
between two drops, with amazing results.
5. Try milk instead: Due to the very
different viscosity and characteristics of the liquid, using milk
instead of water will produce softer shapes.
6. Camera settings: With the camera on
a tripod we used manual focus and exposure. Some test drops were used
to set the focus by placing a ruler in the position where the
droplets fell, then carefully pre-focusing on this point.
