I decided to get out the tripod and play with shutter speed today. Since I’m just a beginner and I have seen this tutorial everywhere I decided I should try it out. I quickly decided that the slow shutter speed with the faucet didn’t have the same feel as a running river :). So I tried a ton of fast shutter speed photo’s. Ones with plates, ones with tinfoil, ones with food coloring, and when nothing was turning out quiet right and I was putting everything away, I decided to snap a couple more. What can I say, I’m a glutton for punishment.
When I turned my camera sideways I got these lovely little photos. The green cast is from my flash going through the Dawn dish soap. I also like the simplicity of the stainless steel sink and the clear martini glass.
On another note, thank you for all of your well wishes. I am starting to feel like my old self again. I’m not going running anytime soon, but I can make it through a normal day! Yay!

Very pretty honey. Love You

Thank you mom. Love you too!

Great photos! What shutter speed did you end up using for each? I’m new to my Nikon D70 and would love some tips from a fellow beginner.

Thank you! I used 1/200. I know the basics about fast shutter speed to slow stuff down and slow to make it look blurry, hehe.

I love creative photographs. You’ve done a great job with these.

Thank you Nigel. Creativity is my weakness, but Im working on it!

Very nice!! I never would have known that the glass was in the sink if you hadn’t said so, just looks like a cool backdrop! I haven’t attempted anything like this yet – did you set your camera to continuous shooting for these?
Feb 19, 2011 @ 21:26:02
I just tried to time them. Setting it to continuos would have been the smart thing!

Very nice shots! I’ve never tried one of these waterdrop shots, I guess one day I should.
Feb 19, 2011 @ 21:24:59
Your photographs are amazing and Im sure when you do they will be fabulous! Thanks for stopping by.

I have to say, very creative using the soap bottle as well as the sink! Great job capturing water droplets as they can be difficult to capture, keep up the great work Morgan. 😀

Tell me about it! This was one of my harder shots :).

It’s fun experimenting and learning new stuff, isn’t it?
Looks like you’re on right track.
Feb 19, 2011 @ 21:23:50
Thank you Sasi! I love experimenting, and with photography its an experiment every day!

Nice! I love to catch water drops. The stainless steel and the green work out really well for *mood* of the water.
Feb 19, 2011 @ 21:23:13
Thank you. I think I will try it again, but maybe with a couple different backdrops. Experimenting!
Feb 17, 2011 @ 11:53:14
Very nice! I haven’t had much luck catching water droplets. Probably because I haven’t been patient enough.
Feb 19, 2011 @ 21:22:31
Yeah, I was about to throw in the towl when I got this. These were my last two :)!
Feb 23, 2011 @ 18:55:14
I love this! Always wanted to try something like it but just couldn’t get it right!
Feb 24, 2011 @ 21:48:27
It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but persistance paid off.

Hi! I just stumbled across your blog. Lovely photographs!! You mentioned a tutorial that you found…would you mind sharing where you found it? I’m still learning myself and anything that can help is wonderful! Thanks!

Thank you! They are all over youtube and there were a ton when I googled it. I like this one from digital photography school. Its one of my favorite sites. Have fun!
