D195 - Water + Colors

Tonight was the night to break out the water drops of a year on the back burner. Still need to work with different liquids to get more artsy results including the drop collisions. The setup was a little crude using light stands and grips to hold the rod holding the bag of water. When I put a hole in the bag, I wasn't at the lowest point in the bag so the drops moved around a bit. I was able to use colored paper to get the mix of colors on the water surface. This attempt was with one flash, the next I will try with two flashes, gelling the other one with a different color to get some colorful side light. Tomorrow I will experiment with different liquids.

Onward.
Enjoy.

D189 - Splash back

Ok, so I have a fun idea for a series of self portraits, but to pull them off I will have to enlist the help of some volunteers who would don't mind throwing a drink in my face. Well not the glass, sorry to get some of your hopes up. I may have a few of the 'volunteers' pose for a couple as well. Should be able to get a few in on Sunday. Tonight's shot is just me 'testing the waters'. Note to self, use warm water next time.

Enjoy

Too much water here

D86 - Making a Splash

While I do some more research on Astrophotography, I decided to grab an image at the beach today. The capture may look like a warn sunny day, but it was quite cold outside. Today was definitely a choppy on the lake, which means I couldn't walk out far on the rock without getting wet. I will have to see if there are other locations that I can explore for tomorrows capture.

Enjoy.

Ja mata,
Brian
