The beauty of water - frozen during a long exposure photograph
I love photographing water, the sound it makes alone draws me to it and I find it super therapeutic.
I shot all these shots during a long exposure. I light them with a flashgun on a very low power. I do this to freeze the motion. If I used the lights on full power the light would bounce around and I'd end up with blurry shots.
I could shoot them at super fast shutter speeds but my maximum speed for my lighting set up is 1/160th of a second and that still produces a slight motion blur.
My usual set up is 1 x Yongnuo 560iv triggered wirelessly and a single A4 piece of rainbow card behind the running tap.
These are super fun as you really don't know what you're going to get until you end the exposure.
Sometimes I spray water onto glass or directly onto the card to give really cool droplet effects
Other times I'll use it as a base layer to a really long exposure...
The ones which come out looking like molten glass are my favourites...
I hope you liked these and as always any questions you may have please fire them my way...

Superb pal, quite how this post has only attracted a low number of votes is baffling me....still trying to work this Steeem thing out....
I thought I'd cracked it as it were but it seems not after the performance of my last few. I shall carry on regardless :)
Stunning work,the fact it’s on its side really adds to the strangeness, enter the matrix :)
