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 would love to try this, I have a shoot and click camera, with a macro setting, do you think it is possible to do it? Cheers

    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.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
