Photo Day: Waterdrops

29 Sep

I am sure you have seen tons of images of waterdrops. So, here is my first shot at trying to capture them.

All you need to remake this photo is a tripod, camera, and a bowl of water. You want to capture the droplets, so you will have to use a fast shutter speed.

I actually used the on camera flash because the lighting sucked. It is a good idea to experiment with different colored/designed bowls to give an added effect to the droplets. You can check out another tutorial at the Digital Photography School’s website.

Just be patience and experiment with things and you will eventually find one that you really like.

Photo Day: Cape Zanpa | Okinawa, Japan

27 Sep

I needed to desperately get outside and snap some pictures this weekend so I decided to head to Cape Zanpa and go wild. Of course I didn’t get up at the planned 5-6 A.M. like I hoped. Instead, I made it out just after 12:30.

Nothing like trying to take pictures during the middle of the day when the sun washes out almost everything. It didn’t matter, I just needed to go outside and take some pictures.

From now on I plan on updating the site at least weekly with new pictures. Hopefully this will help inspire me to take more shots.
