View Full Version : How to take photos with drops effect ? dafni 11-29-2005, 01:27 PM I saw several photos of drops and i dont know how to do it. At first where do you put the cup or the bottle? Do you hold the camera and the bottle at the same time? Where do you focus, on the bottle or on the drops?Do you put the camera on a tripod? :confused: JanR 11-29-2005, 05:35 PM If you are talking about things like this: http://www.megapixelworld.com/photography/showphoto.php?photo=388&cat=500&ppuser=6 I think I just used auto focus. It's next to impossible to focus on they drops as they fall. The alternative would be to focus on the cup. dafni 11-30-2005, 06:49 AM Yes this kind of photos i mean. Thanks! So you put auto focus and you leave the camera on a tripod or other place to be steady and you use another cup to make the drops.Is this that you mean?I will try it today! Thank you!:) JanR 12-01-2005, 05:37 PM So you put auto focus and you leave the camera on a tripod or other place to be steady and you use another cup to make the drops.Is this that you mean?I will try it today! Thank you!:) That's exactly what I did. I had the camera on a tripod. I used my left hand for the shutter and held a measuring cup with my right. I took many many photos. :) dafni 12-06-2005, 06:41 AM Thank you all , the truth is that i didnt try it yet.Cause my camera doesnt focus very well :( indoors . I hope Santa bring me a new one. :D ! Olly 12-06-2005, 11:01 PM I saw several photos of drops and i dont know how to do it. I never managed to do one that worked. At that time, I tried with a Canon Pro90IS and a Coolpix 5000. All out of focus. I did not try with the slrs yet because I do not have a macro lens. I am sure Santa will be nice this year :D Checkers 12-07-2005, 10:05 PM Here's my go at it :) I put it in macro and focused on the glass. Clicked as the drops fell :D http://www.megapixelworld.com/photography/showphoto.php?photo=1768&cat=515 dafni 12-08-2005, 01:21 PM Very nice picture! I like the shadow of the water !This week i ll go home to recieve my presents :p so, no time to try.Until now i tried 3 o 4 time take a shot of drops but none of them so good :( dafni 12-08-2005, 01:27 PM I did not try with the slrs yet because I do not have a macro lens. What is a slrs ? I m so new to this and my english do poor :o ! I am sure Santa will be nice this year :D I think so too! ;) JanR 12-08-2005, 05:22 PM SLR stands for single lens reflex. It's the way that your camera takes photos. I'm sure someone else can explain it better. :) |
