CSE 131 Homework 4 - DSC03365
This photo satisfies Requirement 1. The water droplet was tiny so I used a 36 mm extension tube to get close to the subject. The camera was in manual mode. The aperture was set to f/8 so that the entire water droplet was in focus. I used three flashes, which were triggered wirelessly. One of the flashes was lighting the background. The other two were lighting the water. The two were set to their lowest output power to get the minimum lighting duration, which was 1/20000 second. The shutter speed was set to 1/100 second. Any shutter speed slower than the flash sync speed was fine. It was not the shutter but the flash that froze the motion. Since the flash's output power was low, the ISO was increased to 400 to get a reasonable brightness. The focusing distance was set in advance. In post processing, I increased the exposure, increased the contrast, decreased the highlight, and increased the clarity. This allowed the subject to pop out more from the background.
