This Wordless Wednesday I decided to try to photograph water. I wanted to get the individual droplets. That meant I needed the fastest shutter speed possible. I had some problems because I didn’t have enough light and so I needed my flash. On my camera you can only go to 1/200 with the flash but can get to 1/4000 without the flash. So these aren’t where I want them to be. I will keep trying. Enjoy.
This is the slowest shutter speed I used. You can see how the water looks more like one solid thing.
This is a faster shutter speed. The water looks like more independent drops. Not where I want it to be, but I’ll get there.
Another at the same shutter speed.
so clever now slow it down and you’ll see drips

I’ve had a DSLR for almost a year & finally started messing with the settings a couple months ago. It makes such a huge difference.

I love practicing with water in the summer when the kids are splashing around or in the water sprinkler or bounce house!
I love to practice with my camera, though I admit I am not very good. Practice makes perfect though 🙂

I must be close to flowing water at all times! I feel really ‘off’ if I am not close to some sort of water, be it a stream, river, fountain, something where water is moving. I enjoyed your photos very much–flowing water is awesome!

My hubby does photography for a living and he still has issues with water sometimes. It is not an easy subject to photograph! You did a great job! Keep it up and before long you will have what you are looking for! 😉

One of the first things I did after getting my DSLR was play around with shutter speed while photographing a little brook. I LOVED being able to capture individual drops of water splashing over rocks.

These turned out great! It’s dark in my kitchen, so it’s hard for me to take photos of the water coming out of the faucet without using the flash…
