Water drop photography – behind the scenes
Today I thought I would share with you some insight as to how I create my water drop photography.
There is plenty of equipment available out there which can help you create some stunning water splash photos. However, I have been having a play around with equipment I have at home, creating water drop photos on a budget.
Creating a splash!
My simple set up involves using a food bag with a small hole in it. I place this above my bowl and try to anticipate when the water drop will land on the surface of the water.
I would normally mount my flash to one side, however, on this occasion, my flash trigger was not working. As an alternative, I bounced my flash off a white surface.
I had my 100mm macro lens on the camera and used the canon trigger app on my phone to take the photos.
This method takes a little trial and error, and I did get a lot of missed shots. However when it worked – I got some great images.

I like to play around with my editing. So I took the water drop image and added a texture to it. This gives it an arty abstract feel.
