Water Wheel. 284-366.

I've wanted to do something along these lines for a while but I put it off due to laziness. I thought it would be a mare to nail but I bagged this within 10 minutes of faffing. Happy days.

 

Framed and focused for the light blade. Once happy and settings noted I changed to tripod 2 for the macro element. Worked out best focus, flash power and aperture with the macro rings on. Once happy with this part out went the lights. Fired the shutter in bulb mode.

I turned the tap on, held a tea spoon touching the tap to spread the water and fired the flash with my radio trigger in my mouth at the rainbow card. Lens cap on and removed the camera from the tripod. Removed the lens and the macro rings and swiftly replaced the lens. Changed focus and aperture on the manual Sammy and took the lens cap off again. Started the drill spinning attached to the camera rotation tool with the blade mounted on and rotated 270 degrees and turned off the torch. Put a purple gel over the torch and set it going again.

A crop and some minor faffing in LR and job done.

This is number 284 of my 366.
