My first attempt to do some splash photography.
Getting the background black was the easy part: low ISO, small aperture and fast shutter.
Hard part was the focus and making sure the drop landed on the same spot I focused on. After trying several method I ended up what a Crazy Machines-like contraption made out of a fly swatter, a couple of books and a piece of string 😄
Hardest part however was the timing. As the flash was in HSS, spray and pray wasn't an option as the flash needed to recycle every 1 or 2 photos.
After 500+ photos, I had a couple of photos that stood out.
Calidris (Aphriza) virgata,
North Point, Morro Strand State Beach,
Morro Bay, California
"The Surfbird's winter range is among the longest and narrowest of any North American breeding bird. During the boreal winter, Surfbirds are found from Kodiak Island, Alaska, to the Strait of Magellan, Chile, a distance of over 17,500 km, and the winter range extends inland only a few meters above the tide line. Outside the breeding season, this species is confined almost entirely to rocky coastal shores, where it feeds on mollusks and other intertidal prey, often amid the splash and spray of incoming waves; hence its name."--Cornell's Birds of the World
All that patterning on the belly and those colorful coverts on the wing indicate this bird has been molting into its alternate or breeding plumage. Sure sign it will be migrating north soon, if it hasn't by now. (Photo is from 6 April.)
I took some pictures of some water droplets yesterday for a first time in a while. It took quite a bit of time (and 989 photos on quick-shoot) to get the shot I wanted but I got it in the end. Happy Slider Sunday! :)
Built this one a year ago, just stumbled upon the picture when I was organizing some files. I never uploaded it thinking I'd redo it (the legs/skirt part is dreadful), but didn't get around to it.
Bombo Headland, Kiama, Australia. Just a two-hour drive south of Sydney, Bombo Headland offers one of Australia’s most surreal coastal landscapes. The headland is sculpted by dramatic cliffs and striking basalt columns—remnants of ancient volcanic activity that now stand like nature’s own cathedral.
At sunrise, the scene transforms into pure magic. The clouds ignite with warm hues of gold and crimson, casting a celestial glow over the rugged terrain. Waves surge through the narrow gaps between the basalt formations, erupting into spectacular splashes that shimmer in the morning light.
As a photographer, I love capturing spontaneous and natural moments of wildlife. This image shows a sparrow in the midst of a refreshing bath. The movement and splashing water capture the liveliness and joy of the moment. It is this authenticity and the beauty of everyday life that I aim to capture through my lens.
Als Fotograf liebe ich es, spontane und natürliche Momente der Tierwelt einzufangen. Dieses Bild, zeigt einen Spatzen inmitten eines erfrischenden Bades. Die Bewegung und das spritzende Wasser fangen die Lebendigkeit und Freude des Augenblicks ein. Es ist diese Authentizität und die Schönheit des Alltags, die ich durch meine Linse festhalten möchte.
A splash of colour in this long exposure as the setting sun eventually decided to spread some colour amongst the grey. In a rush to change my location I placed my camera at an angle...hence the narrow crop. This is a 93 second exposure (I cut it short by mistake but I think it works well anyway)
52 Still Lifes: 14/52: Splash.
Lo primero os debo explicar la que he lÃado para hacer esta foto. Sola. Sola y sin disparador remoto. La mano izquierda en el disparador de la cámara, la mano derecha con la jarra echando la leche sobre la fresa y el palillo que veis en mi boca haciendo equilibrio para mantenerla en el lugar donde tenÃa el foco. Un show!!!
No he quedado satisfecha, solamente he salvado ésta, pero me resulta muy curioso haber coincidido con Ana ahora que he repasado el mural, sin saberlo. Me llamaron mucho la atención estos splashes que salpican sobre fruta, pero la verdad es que me ha costado la vida (y limpiar mucho, y ducharme yo también jajjaj)
On a steep slope where stands of quaking aspen trees cascade down the mountainside, a tall pine stands out from the deciduous surroundings. The aspen groves here have just past their peak and are transitioning into their winter slender state while the very different strategy of the conifer is made even more apparent. Thick atmospheric distortion renders this image quite painterly in close inspection, as the air moved throughout this popular valley in the afternoon sunshine. Soon the Sun would dip behind the ridge and the intense backlight on the golden and fiery aspen leaves would cease, a progression of unchangeable inevitability that time imposes. I am thankful that photography provides the means to capture real moments of light that happened.
Lawn Sprinklers open or just cars going by, one can never be too careful if there is water on the road; you may just get wet.
At 1/80th of a second shutter speed, I didn't really 'freeze' the droplets, but it still gives a nice backdrop as these gulls rest on the rocks.
Enjoy!
The Splash grounds have been open to the public for a few days now, but are officially kicking things off TODAY, August 16th! Running until August 23rd, this event includes shopping, gifts, gaming, a performance by Geurilla Burlesque, and more!
Of course, I built an info spot for SWF in the shopping area as well. Pics of that soon! :)

If you visit one of Cambodia's floating villages, you will see colorful houses on stilts, long boats plying the waterways, and lots of kids playing in the water. It's not unusual to see children floating in tubs splashing water at each other. In fact, it's such a common sight that its almost become an iconic symbol of these villages.
This image, which I have not shared before, has been a personal favorite for a long time. I felt like my photo stream could use a splash of color today.
Wow...despite being sent to the Crematorium by the Ice Box with seven unanimous uncools, this shot just made it into Explore for July 2nd. Highest postion - 46. Booh-yah!
Joined a great new group called Get Pushed!! Round One, where you are paired with someone who gives you a photographic challenge ouside your comfort zone. This is the one the delightful and talented yrrgeirs sent me: "SPLASH! I´m challenging you to do a "SPLASH" shot. Coffee splash, milk splash, water..........or whatever comes to mind! Try it, might be fun! :-D"
It was messy fun, but I'm afraid I only had five minutes to spare from my exam marking, so the two shots are rushed and sooc. Coward that I am, I tried it first with water, and only then with hot chocolate. I think the water one is slightly better, though neither of them is brilliant. I shall try this again when I have time. BTW, I dropped a golf-ball sized tomato into the cups to get the splashes! Now you should all go join Jordy's group and Get Pushed!!
Get Wet, View it Large On Black.. Promise It will not disappoint you. :)
I Was Little busy this past weekend..
Anyway here is the Info about this picture..
This is an image of a Rain drop splashing against a wall during monsoon in Vizag. The light you see here is natural and not a studio setup :)
This is one of the image in my early P&S days which inspired me to go for a DSLR.
I shot this image with a friend's Canon Digital Rebel XT in 2006, lost exif info from the raw to jpg conversion using early version of picasa. Atleast from what i remember, it is one from few shots in burst mode at highest ISO Canon DR XT offers.
Processing: Removed Noise using Noise Ninja Plugin, convert to BW and used curves to get this lowkey lighting..
