Splashes are fascinating.

 

 

 

All of these look pretty good, but #3 and 4 are definitely my favourites. They seem more interesting than the others, and I like how #3 looks a bit like a flower. :P

Thank you :) I agree that they can start to look pretty plain/repetitive after a while. They start to look more interesting if you do splash collisions (time it so that two drops hit each other). It's really hard to do though :( So I'll have to practice A LOT.

1, 4, and 6 looks best.

 

 

 

Great focus, and you've captured them all at the right time. Some great colours too.

Pft you make it sound so easy ;) I took ~100 pictures just to get six I really liked! :XD: But thank you!

Claps for littleboy!! =D> =D> =D>

 

 

 

I blew it, didn't I? :XD:

[Sam]

Yup :lol:

[woopidoo2]

Looking good, again :thumbup:

 

 

 

Some things for you to try out:

 

 

 

Try to position your camera until its just not completely horizontal to the water.

 

These photos are all moderately high from the water, this results in a busy background that takes the serenity (wrong spelling, I know) away.

 

 

 

I dont know the situation in your softbox, but I think you should be able to get a white background from that.

 

(Using your new flash might help too, to freeze the water or to flash outside of your softbox for a diffused light)

 

 

 

 

 

Take a look at this one, its pretty much the 'perfect splash photo' and this is the kind of position I mean:

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is an interesting website too, about the history of splash photography:

(Think of the photographers that used film :ohnoes: , hundreds of shots with just a few good ones.. that should have cost them alot of money)

^Is it just me or does it look like there's a woman on that pic? The bit at the top that's black with face-like properties...

 

 

 

Anyway, nice pics Tripsis! I like that 3 looks like a flower. And 4 reminds me of that Budweiser 'King of Beers' advert for some reason :XD:

5 is my favourite. :D

 

 

 

It looks like theres a bird on top of the splash. :o

[yaff2]

1 and 4 i think are amazing

[Hawks]

I like 4 and 5 the best. Also I think how you've put number five in a sig looks really great. (does that even make sense?...)

[tripsis]

Thank you for your suggestion woopidoo :) I will try it out. I have also been wanting to experiment with food colouring, which is used in the photo that you provided. And I see the woman too, plugpoint!

 

 

 

Thank you for the comments everyone :) I enjoy hearing which are your favourites!

Tripis, your drop Photography is simply amazing. 8-) :thumbup:
