Title: Fun with WATER! (photography)
Post by: Keihan on October 20, 2013, 04:33:26 pm
Played around today with some water photography for a school project. I still need two more images for a full 10.

I couldn't think of an idea/concept for the project at first. It was just about dropping objects into water/throwing objects at cups of water, etc....


Then, I had a chat with my teacher, and she helped me to think of some ideas, but I wanted to keep the fun intact without being too obvious to the concept. It's supposed to deal with clean vs dirty water.

The red/white/blue is to symbolize the United States, or any other country with clean water that runs in abundance. I still need 2 more photos (WATER BALLOONS!!!), and need to edit the 8 above photos a bit more.

What camera/lenses were you using?  I shoot weddings with my sister (as a second shooter).

These are pretty great, Keihan. Although there's a bit too much blue. I'm guessing that's from the plain white background? I'd suggest for the next shoot putting in other light sources of differing color. Just trust me. I took a photograph once so I'm pretty much an expert.

The second one reminds me of the opening for The Pacific. That was a beautiful intro:

Thanks, Jabba. I don't know why they came out so blue. The first two photos I took (first two shown) already had that blue tint, and then the rest also had it. I had to edit a few to get the blue tint to be similar on all of them.

Natural lighting was used (shot these in my backyard with poster board for the background.

Dope. I'm trying to shoot a wedding as a second shooter so I get the experience first. I would like to be the primary shooter eventually.

I use a Canon T4i (650d), and these were all shot with an 18-135 f/3.5 lens.

Was this project for a photography course, or did you decide to use images as your method? If it was, I'd definitely ask the professor what's up with the blue. Still, they're awesome. Wish I had them skills.  O0
