Fun With Water Photography

BigBassin144 · 02-17-12, 08:36 PM

Playing around with some fun water photography. I did some shots of fishing lures too, but this one of a Lemon was the only decent shot I got. Just thought I'd share. Gonna try to get some lures shot too.

Nope, that was a log being gully washed.

Sweet pic Biggins!

BigBassin144 · 02-18-12, 09:59 PM

Thanks guys. This was a fun experiment that I'm going to keep improving on. I did a lot of experimenting today, but didn't come out with any pics I'm going to be able to edit as keepers. But here's a few unedited shots anyways.

Another lemon:

Here's one for all you golfers:

And finally, a lure:

i like these anthony. really good. the lemon looks as though it has a budwiper crown.lol!!!you know, the commercial? hahaha!!!

Bubba_Bruiser · 02-19-12, 01:55 AM

Pretty cool BB. I like the effect on the crank.

And very impressive Stick, not a single stain!

james86 · 02-19-12, 03:17 AM

Pretty awesome pictures you got there.

joedog · 02-19-12, 04:15 AM

Have I seen that lure before?

Great pics!

Bender · 02-19-12, 10:35 AM

Great photos! Are you using a trigger to catch the action?
I've seen some very elaborate rigs for capturing liquids with multiple flashes and crazy custom triggers. I'm actually getting ready to build a lightning and maybe sound trigger with an Arduino board. I've got the hardware, just need to put it together. I also just bought a 100mm macro lens as well, but haven't used it for macro shots yet. So far it's a great general lens that is tack sharp.

kennethdaysale · 02-19-12, 10:41 AM

I like the last lemon pic. Somehow the part that's above the waterline reminds me of a girl I used to date.

WatterBoy · 02-19-12, 12:42 PM

Those are all fantastic, Anthony. Very cool!

Chris, I've got one flash unit set up camera right, which I've done a lot of experimenting with to get good lighting. A second one would be very helpful, but I don't have the cash for a second flash, lol. I'm triggering it from my cheapo Chinese Yongnuo wireless triggers.

The camera itself is being triggered by myself with a cable release. It's really all about the timing. I've got more shots of a lemon floating above the water than I care to count, lol.

I'm shooting these with my 100mm Macro at f/11 and 1/200th.

BigBassin144 · 02-19-12, 03:01 PM

Gave this a try with a black background this morning and boy does it make a difference. There was still some color variation between the background above and below the water, but black is much easier to make black in photoshop than white is to make white.
