Water Drop Photography: EVERY STEP from start to print

Type a quick search of ‘Water Drop’ or #waterdrop and you will quickly see just how popular this area of macro photography has become. Adam Karnacz has written before about why shooting these kinds of images improves your skills as a photographer, but that does not explain why people love them so much.



Shooting water drop photography highlights the pure essence of photography, capturing a moment in time. We see thousands of water drops every day, but rarely pause to consider their architecture and movement. During a particularly heavy rain storm we may marvel at the size of drops bouncing off the ground, but the rest of the time we take it for granted or do not notice. Freezing this moment forces us to appreciate the beauty, complexity and symmetry of a most regular occurrence and brings into sharp focus the importance of water in our lives.

The addition of vivid colours, opaque liquids and well controlled lighting, adds drama to the scene and gives the images that ‘wow’ factor that is becoming increasingly rare in today’s world.

This is a bit more than a photography tutorial. I wanted to provide an overview of what it is all about. If you want to give it a try for yourself then please, watch my in depth tutorial.

Water Drop Photography is the theme of tonight’s video.

See how I shot and edited this image in my two latest videos. Hit the bio link now. This image is from my latest water drop photography shoot. In this latest video I go through the shoot explaining my Adobe Lightroom workflow. I also edit several of the best images showing how I put the finishing touches to the images but also how you have a large amount of control over the colour. Watch now.

Click my bio link now to see how this image is captured in my new video. I'm back for Water Drop Wednesday for the first time in a while. The new video covers how to capture water drop collisions using the Splashart 2 drop system.

It's #waterdrop #wednesday today and time for a little something different. This drop is captured manually with no drop system. I simply used a bag full of water with a hole in it suspended above the water bath as per my tutorial. It's then just about shooting your shot at the right time. A #postprocessing #tutorial will be coming very soon. Please follow me if you don't want to miss this. #waterdrops #waterdropphotography #drip #macrophotography #macros #macro #closeup #purple #water #canon #waterdrip #drop #drops
