How to shoot water droplets with your mobile phone at home

Choose a basin with water under it. The color of the washbasin depends on your preference. First, fill the basin with water, put it on the stool, hang a plastic bottle, and make a hole in the bottom of the bottle to let the water drip down slowly. Then find a small electrical tape to control the speed and direction of water flow.

2. Support the camera on a tripod, and the height of the camera should be slightly higher than the basin. If the camera is too high, it will become a bird's-eye view, and it is not easy to show the shape of water droplets. It's better to use the off-board flash, but unfortunately I don't have it, so I can only use my own flash.

3, pay attention to control the speed of water droplets. Different dropping speeds will produce different water drop effects. I think it is more appropriate to control the dropping speed at about one drop per second. You can try different dropping speeds when shooting, which may have unexpected effects.

4. Also pay attention to the height of water droplets. If the water droplets are too small, the splashing height of the water droplets is small and it is not easy to produce an effect; If the gap is too big and the water splashes, the camera will get wet easily. Try to observe the splash effect of water droplets before shooting until the debugging is satisfactory. According to different water droplets, splashing water droplets (or water columns) will take on different shapes. I think the gap of 30 ~ 50 cm is more appropriate.

5. The shutter should be fast enough when shooting in the m range. However, the solidification of falling water droplets does not depend on the shutter speed, but on the exposure time. The shutter does not play a major role in this exposure time, and the decisive moment is determined by the flash.

6. Use manual focusing. Because it's too late to use autofocus when the water drops down. You can preset the position of the water drop above the water surface, put something, the camera will focus automatically, and then switch to the manual focus position, so that the focus is fixed. I put my hand in the position of the water drop to focus automatically, and then switch to manual focus.

7. Take more photos in the way of continuous shooting, and choose.

8. The lens is a macro lens, and I use a Longteng SP 90MM macro lens.
