Teaching of photography skills for easily shooting water droplets

(1) a dslr-whether it is entry-level, intermediate or professional. I only used an entry machine this time.

(2) Flash-built-in or external. I only used the built-in flash on the top of the machine this time.

(3) lens-macro lens is the best; If not, can you use a telescopic tube or a macro? Filters shorten the closest focal length of your original lens; If there is no more, even the average kitlen &；; #8203; & amp？ #8203; S will do. I only used Kitlen &；; #8203; & amp#8203; s .

(4) tripod-ensure that the composition is consistent every time.

(5) colored opaque cup-the color of the cup is the color of water. You need an opaque cup, or you will photograph other objects in the bathroom. I used a very ordinary blue plastic cup this time.

(6) A piece of white paper-used to make even light tones.

(7) Adhesive tape-used to fix white paper.

To sum up, as long as you have an entry-level DSLR (built-in flash) and a Kitlen &；; #8203; & amp？ #8203; S, tripod (usually a gift), you just need to prepare a cup, a piece of white paper and a roll of gummed paper. In fact, I believe you will have the above three items at home, so strictly speaking, 0 yuan will do!

Shooting begins:

(8) ? Ask your family for permission first, because you need to occupy the whole toilet or bathroom for at least two hours (if you live alone or have multiple toilets or bathrooms at home, that's another matter). Of course, you can wait until all your family members are asleep.

(9) Dry your washbasin.

(10) Divide a piece of white paper in two, and stick two pieces of paper with adhesive tape about 15cm x? 15cm white paper is fixed on the washbasin wall near the faucet. Below the tap, but above the cup.

(1 1) Prepare a cup filled with 3/4 water and put it under the tap.

(12) Adjust the speed of water droplets to make them drop by drop.

(13) The site layout is as follows:

Camera settings:

(13) If the aperture is f/5.6 or below, please make sure there is enough depth of field.

(14) The white balance is in blinking mode.

(15) focus manually.

(16) ISO is set to 200-800 to ensure that there is not too much noise.

(17) Set a tripod.

(18) Turn on the built-in flash and turn off all light sources in the bathroom.

( 19) ? Finally, the most important thing is to grasp the relationship between the speed of water droplets and when to press the shutter. There is no definite answer to this question, because it is related to speed, size, height, cup size, camera shutter lag and so on. , so try? And mistakes. My experience is that whenever you see a drop of water on the faucet ready to drip, you should press the shutter. Pressing the shutter at different times will also take different photos.

If you use a macro lens, the picture should be clearer. And I also strengthened the contrast and saturation afterwards to make the blue color stand out more.
