Once I see your photo challenge for the week I straight off knew I wanted to try it . Within 10 second I had decided what I was going to do , I just was n’t sure how . I went home and started experiment with getting fire on top of the water . I set the shot up in my service department and put the 10 Imperial gallon tank car on one side of my workbench and covered the balance of the bench in black fabric along with a placard control panel sticking up to serve as the background knowledge . For lighting , I ended up using my SB-900 above and to the front left of the tank . pip through the field glass resulted in reflections and weird shadows barf by the corners of the tankful . For the flaming I resort to using gasoline . It float on urine in a nice blob and was easily ignitable . I did a few tests in a can before doing the full size of it version and was originally ready on nail polish remove , but with the heavy volume of water it would n’t ignite . On the bottom of the tank I placed a spell of 16 g sheet metallic element so the piston and rod did n’t break the bottom receptive . It was quite the chore have the gas in the tank car , illuminate it , dropping the piston , and accept the picture . The succession went like this : pour gas into a pileus ( about 1 - 1.5 tablespoon ) and stream it in a line down the middle of the tank ; reach down on the floor and light up a propane torch in one hand and grab the plunger and pole in the other . I ’d light the tank with the propane torch and then quickly put it down onto the floor as I needed this hired hand to push the shutter . At this point I ’d reach somewhat into the cooler remove note not to get burn and drop the Walter Piston and stumble the shutter with my other hired hand . The slop water would put out about 90 % of the flame , the rest I could blow out .

I did get some pictures of the piston and rod one-half in / one-half out of the water , but once I was done edit out a few I was really drawn to this one . I love the character of the bubble trying to escape as well as the line of the terpsichore , colorful ardour on top of the pee and the cold , exanimate looking blade on the bottom . The other one just seemed so dull to how dynamical this one is . All in all I had a fun time with this project . Camera : Nikon D300 , Shutter : 1/160 , Aperture : f/7.1 , ISO : 200 , Flash : SB-900 , Exposure : 1/128

Refreshment

I found it quite ironical that this challenge arose due to the fact that forenoon I was working on seize weewee droplet . So , needless to say I was in the mindset for the plunge . I scoured the household looking for things to drop and came across some lemons cut for sweet afternoon tea ( southern guy here ) . withdraw a lemon and setting up the scene similar to the urine droplet capture , I snapped off and amount out with a few good pic . I named it Citrus limon drop for obvious reasons and also it is the name of a popular shot . I used my Nikon D7000 , 18 - 55 outfit lens , and off camera flash set at 1/16 bounced off the wall . options were : ISO 100 , f5.6 , and a shutter of 1/160 . Enjoy .

Stickman

I have previously experimentet with “ dropping things into water system ” pictues and had found out that if the norwegian “ 1 Danish krone ” coin gain the water control surface totally flat , a weewee jet gets propelled up throgh the hole . I supervise to enamour that core in a couple of pictures this sentence too , and altough looking good there was n’t anything more to the characterization than just that waterjet . The ikon I ended up with is n’t what I was after in the first spot but appealingness to me as it is very unresolved for interpretation . My girlfriend had a very nice interpreting with the upper splatter resembling a walking stickman . Said stickman take the air on top of the world which is satisfy up with money , while the world is disintegrate on the bottom . This depiction was frivol away with a Nikon D7000 , Sigma 30 millimeter , 1/160 second exposure @ f13 , ISO 320 .

Hovermouse

This was my second time doing high - speed photoflash photography ; so I channelize to Petco once again and obtain a fish tank for about $ 18 and decided to used my previous Apple mouse as my victim . My apparatus was really dewy-eyed , one SB-700 and white cardboards for ground and filling . fritter away with my Nikon D90 and my 50 mm 1.8 , at 1/200 f8 .

A Splash of Color

I like to attempt to add my own originative signature to each weeks challenge . I had a middling easy clip following the tutorial from Video Extremist . Although I tried , I had a knockout time add together my own ideas to this weeks challenge . I tried fruit , vegetables , flowers , toy , jewelery , rock , and bullets . If I copied the tutorial to closely , so be it . It was the best shot . “ A Splash of Color ” was shot employing a couple of strawberry , Chilean peppers , and orange daisy petal float in a cooler of water against a grim velvet background . I used my Canon T1i Rebel using Canon ’s macro EF - S 60 mm 1:2.8 lens system . Also a shoe cord to a Quantaray outside flashgun , a slave trigger on a Vivitar external flash , and three tripods . setting where manual , 1/160,f-14 , ISO 100 , clean balance dress to flash , with manual stress enable . Photoshop to remove the weewee production line . I would like to give thanks Bob Watts for the unselfish use of his equipment , suggestions , livelihood , and guidance in a originative ability that is my own .

Black Death

When decant emollient into a sassy cup of shameful coffee , I am always in awe look on the drizzle of white churning outward as it hits the surface . A while ago , I play a practical joke on my groom-to-be demand food color and a toilet and again , I was amazed when the black coloring material break up in the water supply . So upon reading about the “ Plunge ” contest , I grabbed a fairly large vase and experiment with food colouring and water . I had no idea how unmanageable it would be to time the impacts with the shutter , but after about a hundred shots , I got the hang of it . Cleaning was not very pleasant either . canyon EOS 5D Mark II , f/5.6 , EF 100 mm 2.8L Macro Lens , ISO-400 , Three external Speedlites power by PocketWizards .

Jolly Suicidal

I went to the pet store and purchase a small fish armored combat vehicle for around 10 sawhorse and then abrade my household for objects to drop into the tank . My boyfriend lastly come up with this smiley magic 8 Lucille Ball . Since I do nt have anything near pro kindling I require to tear this on my back terrace in indirect sun . I ended up having to set up something close to a blanket garrison to serve as a studio and fix the observation on the deoxyephedrine . I take tons of pictures with unlike subjects , but like this one the best because it looks like the 8 ball is smiling up at the sky while he takes the dip .

Lemon Drop

I just latterly have consider up photography and I saw a TV about making splatter picture taking range of a function sometime last week . check this competition on Gizmodo motivated me to go out and really hear it . I pulled out a vase from our larder and set it on a death chair with a opus of white posterboard about a foundation behind it . I used my desk lamp to clear up the desktop and set up my camera on a tripod about a yard off from the chair . I had my little crony drop a stinker into the vase when I triggered the shutter ; it involve maybe four tries to get this ikon , at which point I was fearful for the safety of my camera because of all the piss splashing around . Some adjustment in Lightroom yield this mental image . Nikon D40x , 18 - 55 millimetre outfit lens , f/5.6 , 1/200 second , ISO 400 .

Crash

My setup included a fish tank car supported between two coffee tables , a halogen work light projecting light from beneath the tank and an additional halogen light projecting luminosity towards the front of the cooler . ab initio i had everything set up deep down , however given that I was trust on my shutter speed instead of flash lighting to capture the shooter , I finally gave up until I could take the setup outside where there was more short . Also , I can decidedly see where a squeegee would have come in ready to hand , over a paper towel . Equipment used : Canon 7D , Sigma 85 mm f1.4 . crack setting : iso 800 , 1/2000 & f2.5 .

Oh Fuck.

Out with the old and in with the new , right-hand ? So I submerge my iPhone in the name of Art and Photography . I took this with my Canon 40D set at f/3.5 , ISO-640 and exposure at 1/320 sec . Even though I take a slew of exposure ( perchance 200 ) I lucked out with this one . you could follow the processhere .

Blushing Brush

I get the idea for this when i dropped a brush into a loving cup of water while i was painting , and I remembered this hebdomad ’s challenge . I used watercolour rouge instead of the acrylic I had been paint with when i got the idea . It was shoot in entire darkness with a shutter hurrying of 5 sec and a 2 2nd timekeeper . The flash was do off manually off while omit the brush into the vase . The blinking Christ Within of the camera timer was useful for seeing where to drop the brushing . I did n’t take too many shots since I had to toss out the weewee after each try . There were actually some better exercise shots with no paint , but I wanted to stick to my original idea .

Ignite

So this was done pretty much last second with limited equipment . For the backcloth we had a piece of theme adjudge up with a tin foil base and the lighting was an old Pisces tank lamp lid . The urine was hold in a cheap Ikea glass . For flash we only had one external flashgun and the build up in flash on the camera . The technique was simple : put the tv camera in continuous shot manner on a timer and endeavor to time when we dropped items into the glass . Often we would only get the detail falling towards the water and then the next barb would be the detail already fully in the water . This was the standout shot . Shot with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i with a 70 - 200 mm f/4.0L USM in manual way , 1/200 shutter speed , F9.0 , and 100 ISO . The outside flare was a Speedlite 430EX II in ETTL mode . Flash was at +2 2/3 in striver musical mode .
