\u00a0 \u00a0Preparation for a splash\/liquid shot<\/h3>\n

Before any actual shooting began, we covered the studio with drop cloth.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/3-24.jpg” alt=”3″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s vitally important that all of your gear is protected from any stray splashes that may damage it. We took the drop cloth we had and attached it to the ceiling to create a wall of coverage, protecting our computers as well as the camera.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For this shot, we use 3 spot lights. below is the lighting setup.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/4-22.jpg” alt=”4″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

One gridded light with a colored gel is used to create a nice gradient spot on the background of the image.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Key light is positioned at an angle slightly below the background spot (as to not interfere and wash out the spot we created on a background). This light has a Fresnel Lens attachment for Broncolor Pulso head, and it was necessary to use it so that we could precisely light only flowers and not have any additional light spilling onto the wall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A third light was used to highlight the flowers from the bottom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fesnel lens attachment for pulso head:<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/5-18.jpg” alt=”5″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

We used Broncolor Grafit A4 and Grafit A2 packs, because they are able to shoot at a very short flash duration. For this shot we set both power packs to 1\/2000 sec flash duration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This flash duration allows was short enough to completely freeze any high velocity action. We shot a subject at F25 to have deep enough DOF to have in focus not only flowers but a splash behind them, and we needed a maximum possible light power from our strobes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, the optimal settings was about 450WS for each flash head with 1\/2000 of flash duration.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/6-19.jpg” alt=”6″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to know that the flash duration and not the shutter speed freezes the action. We set the camera\u2019s shutter speed to 1\/200 sec (can go up to 1\/800 with Hasselblad X-sync speed) to demonstrate that it is not a shutter speed freezes the action, but a short flash duration.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/7-13.jpg” alt=”7″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

Before I started shooting we used an atomizer to create little water droplets on the flowers themselves to give the shot a more authentic look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We set the camera\u2019s focusing plane on the edges of the flowers in order to get as much of the splash as sharp as possible. Because the water was being thrown behind the subject, it was essential to set the focusing plane as close to where the water would be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   The Shot   <\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is an example of the shot before we added splashes. The bouquet is lit the way I want it and there is a nice aura around it, created by the gelled background light.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/8-13.jpg” alt=”8″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

After everything was set up, we started the fun part. Throwing the water. It\u2019s always good to have an assistant when shooting to fire a shot at exact moment needed, but it takes time to practice to work in sync.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many photographers uses smart triggers to fire a camera, and I have a quite good experience with a device called \u201cTriggertrap\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can see how it works on this test I did a while ago:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Water Splash Photography: Does Elinchrom Ranger Quadra RX stop the action?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In our case, I have a pretty good sync with our team and we were getting splash shots at right moments every time, without using any triggers except a human eye and reaction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is how it was happening:<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/9-12.jpg” alt=”9″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

Below is one of \u201cout of the camera\u201d shots we were getting.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/10-12.jpg” alt=”10″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

I used Capture One software when I took these images, to help me organize and shoot tethered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Post Production<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In order to create the image that I wanted, I had to take multiple shots of splashes, pick the best ones, and composite them into the final image.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/11-14.jpg” alt=”11″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.1″]<\/p>\n

After the best splash images were selected. We brought them into Photoshop and began masking and editing the splashes that we loved most, creating our final composite shot.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.1″]<\/p>\n

Images like this can be created not only with expensive gear like Hasselblad Cameras and Broncolor lighting. I have several tutorials on Photigy showing how to do hi-speed splash photography with any DSLR and speedlites (or much less expensive studio lighting).<\/p>\n
