posted on 14th of november, 2011

Splash photography is challenging and a lot of fun. The reason – it requires some precise coordination, the results are wonderful and you are going to have a lot of fun practicing some coordination with your assistant while witnessing some funny moments. Let’s get started with this fun e-workshop.

	Posted by Coraldesign on November 20, 2011 Nice subject you opened up here. My piece of advice for others trying to create splashes: use remote shutter trigger with one hand and release the "bomb thing" with the other hand. This way you're in full control of the drop. Of course, you have to set the whole thing in advance: flash(es) intensity, camera position and don't forget to switch to manual focus mode on your lenses. Another piece of advice: press the remote trigger button half way down to lock the focus and drop the package only after you have the focus confirmation. This way your timing will be more precise. Have fun experimenting!!! Sorry about the assistant, there's no need for one, well, maybe yes, after the shooting session - to clean up the mess :)

Without a memory card, your camera won’t work, and if it’s not operating right, you could lose all your images from a long day of shooting. The good news is that by learning some basic maintenance tips and best practices, you can keep your cards running at peak performance and help ensure you don’t lose the images you worked hard to capture.

Whenever inserting your memory card into a camera, be sure to format the card in the camera so it’s completely prepared to work with the hardware. We don’t recommend that you use the same memory card in multiple cameras, unless you’ve already removed the important images...
