Creative scheme planning of photography short film

There is a little creativity at home, and it will be interesting to take pictures. In this article, you will learn how to use water droplets and glass to photograph the microscopic world! This process is very simple, just need a glass bottle and some simple equipment to complete the shooting. Let's take a look at the guide to shooting water droplets.

I. Equipment required

You can find everything you need in the whole house except the camera. The following is a rough list of shooting equipment:

1. glass. Need to find a piece of glass to pour water, it must be clean and without any label.

A pile of books can be reused. A book with glass between two books is needed. When shooting, each paper stack should be about 20 cm high on the image or pattern paper to appear in the water droplets.

2. camera. Ideally, this will be a DSLR, although any camera that supports macro photography will do, and cameras that allow the use of airborne flash are better.

3. Lighting-There are two options: use flash or spotlight. The flash triggered by the remote control connected to the camera will have a better effect. If you can't do this, you can use a spotlight to illuminate the background. The brighter the better.

Tripod is the key to keep water droplets in clear focus. You can take photos by hand, but the effect is not necessarily good.

5. Water-You need to use a dropper to drop water on the glass.

This is the basic setting for taking these photos. The flash is not in the right position yet, so it should be aligned with the striped background.

Here are some tools needed to photograph water droplets on the glass.

Second, how to take pictures

When you are ready, you can take pictures. The following is a step-by-step guide to how to do this:

1. Focus the camera on the glass plate to form interesting water droplets. To get the clearest focus, please disable camera autofocus and use manual focus. Now turn on the real-time display, zoom in (using the zoom button) and focus the lens manually until the image is clear.

2. Place the background in the best position, and observe the appearance in the water drop and the background behind it.

3. The camera settings used may be different, and the flash power supply used may also be different, but of course full power is not required. For Canon 430ex II, the power of 1/32 is enough. In this photo, the aperture is f/9 and the shutter speed is 1/60.

4. You can focus on some water droplets and move or change the background.

Third, shooting attempt.

This is a form of shooting water droplets, not the only way to shoot water droplets.
