Photo splash technique in adobe full#
This is an extremely useful way of shooting studio photography as it allows you to view the images full screen rather than relying on the cameras own screen. In the video I already had the images on the computer thanks to shooting the session with the camera tethered. The process starts when importing the images to a computer. Post processing or editing is a vital part of the photography process and when it comes to water drop photography things are no different.

In this video I go through the post processing of the images shot in the previous video where I cover how to use the SplashArt 2 water dropper to shoot water drop photography. Post-processing a water drop photography shoot. Please subscribe to the channel for new videos every Wednesday and every Sunday. I tend to go all out and make extra mixture to fill my water bath, but again, you can experiment with this. This then pours into the SplashArt reservoir ready to create some beautiful water drop collisions. During the shoot I will the add colour to the liquid in the form of food colouring to provide different types of shots and the addition of milk will add an interesting opacity to the liquid that can really add some extra interest to the shot. This is then my base mixture for a shoot. A consistency like melted butter or olive oil is around where you need to be. You can play around with this but you do not want it to be too thick or it will not come out the dropper at the right time because it will stick in the nozzle. If your mixture is really thick you just need to water it down to get the required consistency.

If there are any lumps left in the mixture I will sieve them out. Much of the gum will stick together and refuse to dissolve but I find leaving it overnight allows the maximum amount to dissolve. Take about half a teaspoon of Xanthan gum and sprinkle it into the water. Xanthan gum really does not like dissolving in water so using warm water helps it along. You want to start with around one pint of warm or hot water.

Like I said before you can use various liquids but I find you gain greatest control by using xanthan gum. Xanthan gum can be bought very cheaply form health food stores and will last you a long time because you only need a very small amount to thicken the water. Well the secret is xanthan gum and I'm going to show my technique for mixing up the perfect water drop photography solution. In this video I answer a question many of you have asked me and that is what do you add to liquid to give it that glass like effect.

I now have a series of videos dedicated to water drop photography: I love it, many of you love it so it's likely that every now and again it will pop up on my channel and today is one of those occasions. I am probably best known for my water drop photography.

In this video I’m going to show you how to make the perfect drop mixture for your water drop photography.
