Saturday night... Rain... Alone... Oops... Don't be sad, KEE friends! That's really right! Mimin wants to give you tips for shooting water drops in the style of famous photographers...
The equipment you need to prepare is a tripod, remote shutter (if you have one), water container, external flash (optional), pipette.
Now for the camera settings. Firstly, you have to make sure that the shutter speed you use is above 1/125, for example 1/800. A fast shutter speed is very necessary because you want to freeze the movement of falling water that is moving at a fairly high speed. If possible, look for a room that is bright enough so that you don't have difficulty using a fast shutter speed, because little light enters the camera so your photo will be dark. You can set the aperture at f/5.6 or f/8. If it's still not bright enough, you can increase the ISO or use an external flash.
Then you can install a tripod and camera in front of the water container and prepare a pipette to drop the water. Use a background about 30 cm from the position where the water falls. If you have difficulty finding a pipette, you can use other equipment that can help you drop water.
It is recommended to use manual focus because you can get a better focus point than using auto focus. Apart from that, you can also use the burst feature so you can take several photos at once in one shot. So then you just have to choose which photo has the best results. Extra patience is needed to get satisfactory photo results, and continuous practice is needed.
So that's all the tips from Mimin, tomorrow happens to be Sunday, you can practice... Good luck!
