Splash Photography; 29th April 2010









































Posted here are my first attempts at both macro photography and splash photography. The images were taken with a Sigma 150mm Macro lens, with the aid if an external flash in commander mode. I basically filled the kitchen sink with water and used a dripping tap to disturb the water. By bouncing the flash off various coloured sheets and towels I was able to shoot in yello, blue, red and white, adding interest to the shots. Shot at f16 at 1/200 second. Looking forward to getting into macro images, this is just the begining, a very enjoyable days photography from which I learned a lot...

Tyresta National Park; 11th April 2010

Meltwater. The falls at Nyfors had burst their banks due to the huge thaw, the torrent rushing past bankside trees. Wonderful light today...


Tree roots, to my eye worked better in black and white...


Root and broken rock....


Nyfors waterfall. Slowed down the shutter speed to get the blurred motion on the falling water.


Study of lichens and mosses, fantastic colours in the bright sunlight...



The best of the shots taken today ar Tyresta National Park, all taken with the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Lens on Nikon D90.
