Splash Down
©JP Parmley
Here is a fun
picture I did with the kids this evening.
This is real simple to set up and the results are endless. Using a 10 gallon fish tank filled up about
3/4 of the way, drop two peppers into the tank from about 12 inches above the
water. The lighting on this shot
requires two flashes. One from the
bottom and one from the top. You can
connect them via cables or wireless transmitters. You will need to set one of the peppers in the water and use manual focus. Once you have set the focus, you don't have to worry about the camera trying to search for it during the shot.
I used a black
board for the background and started dropping and shooting. The kids played around with different heights
and I experimented with trying to catch them early and late in the splash.
What else could we
drop into the fish tank???? Send me your
ideas.
Enjoy,
JP

Thanks Bryan.
