Strobist Techniques

Strobist Techniques:  Part 1 , [ Click here to read Part 2 ]

The light is the key element in the photography, you may use the day-light, or the camera built-in flash but to play with lights and shadows you will need one or more external lights with remote fire capability. (I have the Nikon SB-900)
In this article i will loade some photos and the studio set-up for each to see the lights position and how this will effect the final result.
 
 Equipments
  • The Studio is my Kitchen.
  • Home Made LightBox.
  • Stand for the camera.
  • SB-900 SpeedLigth.
  • I will use the normal room light -ceiling light-.

 

   This is the Studio

Water Splash

February 13, 2009 1 comment

 
    One of the wonderful ways to play with your camera is shotting the Drops of Water or what we can call "Water Splash", the way to do this is verey easy, but you mast be patient, shotting a lot of photos until you get the right shots.
 
Camera setup: High speed shutter, flash or light, manual focus and tripod are the most essential in this type of shotting, and just dont forget to select a background [white, black or colord board], you may use a glass or colored plate. You can use the normal water or colored ink.
 
Here are some of my first shots, other will be posted later
