Bath time Splashes
If you have children then you know how much little one's like to make a splash in the bath tub!! Capturing these images was a lot of fun; my daughter reveled in the chance to splash around in the bath and throw water up over her face! As a mum i wanted to have some fun rather than just picking up wet towels and half sodden clothes off the floor, so i decided to take the opportunity to have some creative fun!
For these shots i turned the bathroom light off and placed a studio light just out of the door (please be very mindful of where you position a light if you attempt this, water and electricity is never a good mix!) I wanted to have more control over the light rather than just having a standard light fixing that i could not move. I got my daughter to splash around and throw the water over her face so i could capture the drops of water mid splash; for this effect you will need to select a fast shutter speed so you can freeze the water. I focused my camera on my little girl so i could get her in sharp focus. I synced the flash light to my camera so it would fire off when i pressed the shutter and took the picture. This will be explained in more detail over on my 'Techniques' page.
I really like these shots. The second one is my favourite, I think the overall composition and central framing adds instant impact in this image. I would expand on these images by experimenting with adult models and water, i feel this would create a completely different visual effect. It could be bath tubs, lakes, swimming pool. Also children playing out in the rain, splashing in puddles etc.....something to add to my 'Inspiration & ideas' page.
