Water Drop Photography Tips

Filed Under: Photography

I think water drop photography is gorgeous. I saw these some photographs where they draped a piece of fabric behind the sink and it showed up in the water drop. I thought that was amazing. Check out these water drop photography tips.

Water Drop Photography Tips

Water Drop Photography Tips

Set your sink to a very slow drip and then put up your favorite fabric behind it.

Use a tripod to keep the camera steady and a remote so you can watch when the water is doing to drop.

You will want a very fast shutter speed around 1/400 and an aperture of f/4 or f/5.

    I love it! I love the bold background and how the pattern only shows through the water drop. Very, very cool!

    That is so freaking cool! I clicked on the link to read on to do it, but I don't have a macro lens. Can you use a macro setting wit the same ISO/F-stop settings?
    • Sarah says

      February 23, 2012 at 1:21 pm

      Maybe. You could try that. I didn't use my macro lens. I used my fixed lens. Definitely worth trying.

July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny and I celebrated being married 18 years in the mountains, and the kids had a lot of Summer fun. Unfortunately we did lose Kenny’s step dad, the kids Grampy, Billy. I’m so glad I decided to do project 365 again this year. I really do love looking back on all the photos, even if most are taken with my phone. Just want to take more photos of the kids with family members.
