Splash photography
Splash photography is a technique that requires a large
amount of patience and practice. With this type of
Essentials for splash photography
photography, perfectly timed snaps can create unique,
intricate images. ◦ Macro lens
I chose this genre of photography because I wanted to ◦ Camera timer
play with the transparency of flowing water to create
the illusuion of the apperance being of nothing. ◦ Tripod
◦ Flowing water
◦ Use a low ISO setting
◦ Use a fast shutter speed
Image_9456
This is one of my absolute
favourite images from this shoot.
This shoot exceeds my aim and
what I had envisioned for this
shoot.
I chose to take these images
landscape because I wanted to
really capture the effect I was able
to achieve which wouldn't have
been captured if taken portrait.
I have also chosen to use a narrow
depth of field in this image as I
wanted to really focus on the
dynamic pouring water rather
than the static water as this adds
more to my image.
Image_9467
I wanted to focus on the
patterns and ripples in the
water in this image, it gives
the effect of a gel like
consitiency.
I like this image because it's
rather abstract in apperance
as there are multiple different
patterns that are visible. In this
image, I used a deep depth of
field as I wanted to focus on
all of the pattens that could
be seen as there are ripples in
the image as well as bubbles
that can be seen in the
bottom right corner.

I decided that this image also
had a very interesting look it
as well. Similar to the image
before this, this image shows
numerous textures. I liked this
factor because for me, the
transparency of the water has
really resulted in the end
result in which I had
envisioned.
I also liked the shadows seen
caused by the droplets which
creates a satisfactory effect
for the viewer.
Evaluation
I liked doing this shoot, it was fun to do and I feel like they really came our rather interesting in
the end. I am not completely convinced that this shoot completely works with this task,
however, I found it quite hard to think of an alternative way of, quite literally, photographing
nothing.
I personally feel like this was quite a mediocre shoot, however, Image_9456 came out rather
distinct. I had managed to capture the water pouring resulting in an amazing end result which
can come off rather pleasing.
In this shoot, I wanted to focus on the appearance mainly and the end result which I personally
think came out exactly how I personally envisioned.
