Transparent Glass and Water Droplets

Share

Hello! Friends, let’s workout some photography idea like water droplets photography. I convey some indoor photography ideas during the lock-down period against the pandemic situation of Covid-19.
This post is a continuous process.

Transparent Glass and Water Droplets

Requirements:

1. A piece of transparent glass (24” x 12” or bigger)
2. A sprayer
3. Water
4. Good light condition room or roof top
5. A model

How to click or the technique behind the water droplet on mirror?

You need one assistant (Nandita my wife was the assistant) or a placeholder to grab the glass firmly and steadily. The light should be on the opposite direction against the model.
Put the glass in such a way so that it can be covered the subject or model (Biyas-my daughter was the model) upto chest or more. A little head space from the model looks good but the frame setting is up to you.

You can place the glass into various positions and check the proper frame, which you like most. Now spray the water outer side of the glass. The model should stay on the other side of the glass.

Camera specification:

A] Go for manual mode and focus the water drops.
B] Shutter speed: 1/125
C] Aperture: f/3.5 or f/4
D] ISO: 200-400 as per the light condition. I personally choose the time in between 4.00 pm to 5.30 pm

Now spray the water on the outside of the glass and capture the images until and unless you are satisfied with the frame and composition. Various reactions of the model gives an added flavor in your composition. Adjust the aperture for your research work e.g. model with water droplets razor sharp or model blurry and so on.
