Very well put together. Well done.

Nice tutorial. I've actually never read that one before but had my own approach which involved the sink and a flash then using the 'drip, drip,drip' sound to time my shot to 1/200th of a second. Yours came out a lot cleaner than mine though, but it turned out quite well for my second real attempt:



The colour was done by using replace colour, and the colour balance setting. Set the shadows to dark red, midtones to orangey yellow and the highlight to yellow/white.

Just a different take on an established method.

These shots will become trivial to shoot with the new Casio 300 fps Camera! :D

Having played around with freezing a shot I made up a useful bit of kit. It fires a flash either by sound (audio) or light (video). A small delay can be set to catch the shot in milliseconds. Only two shots are taken, the first to set the focus (manual) and the second will then take the shot.

Way to go, Remie! I really liked your tutorial.
I was trying to mimic what IreneM does all the time, but my method didn't work out, and then suddenly I saw this tutorial.
Thank you!

Hey Y'all

Neat Image is SICK - LOVE IT! As a professional - I wouldnt work without it as I do a lot of landscape/skyscapes for tourism and travel.

I want EVERYONE to be able to enjoy this AWESOME program so here is the MAC VERSION OF NEAT IMAGE!

//www.neatimage.com/

(Program: Neat Image v4.6 plug-in /Mac)

Now we can all have really neat images - no pun intended! The Mac version didnt come out until October '08.

EDITED TO SAY:

Remember too - Neat Image can be used as a STAND ALONE program if you dont have PS. If you do have PS you can use it as a plug in. For some reason though - I use it as a stand alone. Not a plug in.

THIS IS A GREAT ARTICLE LOVE HOW YOU CAPTURE THE WATER FALLEN INTO THE WATER I WAS WONDERING WHAT SHUTTER SPEED WAS YOU USING WHEN YOU CAPTURE THIS SHOOT AND DID YOU USE A TRIGGER RELEASE WHEN YOU CAPTURE THIS SHOOT BUT GREAT SHOOT

Jewell, you dug up a very old thread. Remie hasn't posted for over 4 years, and even all your shouting (you're typing in caps!!!) probably won't answer your question.

It was a very informative read. Thank you for the tutorial. Might try waterdrop shots later.

Cheers!

Great shoot ! Have you do this for a long time ?

I've got a question!

Can i do this in an utterly dark room with a drop of water constantly falling...

Then put the camera in long exposure and use the external flash to trigger a time lapse or something of the sort?

Sounds complicated but i think i expressed my thoughts

You would need a bottomless pit for that.

Anyway, it would work, but what are you pointing the lens at? If you keep the strobe going and pointed at the impact spot, you'll capture the impact (perhaps) but also what comes before it and after. It would look blurry. The trick would be to trigger just enough flashes to get the drop, impact, and moment after the impact.

Timing is everything, but it should work.

Sure you can, check out gyaban's first entry. He breaks down how he did the shot in the description.
