I'm fiddling around with a concept of dropping a cherry into colored water. (or any object, I figured the cherry wouldn't break the glass like a marble would).
But I've been trying to figure out the mechanics of having those elegant splashes, and not simply a "wave". water height, object speed (throwing down instead of dropping), glass shape ... kinda fishing for concepts right now
I'm just using a d7000, SU800 on REPEAT (on the mutli shots), and 1 or 2 OCF SB800s
I already know I need a dark background for best effects. But just trying to improve the concept right now.
Thanks
This is most of the splashes I get.
I even get "nice" ones like this
But I want splashes more like this, consistently somehow
My objective is to do this in a REPEAT flash, so I can get a nice drop with the nice splash at the end
I've pretty much been able to trigger things when I want to, such as this so it seems doable.
