This photograph of water bubbles was taken looking down into the fish tank. The image as been cropped to add emphasis on the larger bubble. This photograph was taken using available light on my mobile phone.
The water droplets are created using sodium bicarbonate ear drops on the surface of a CD. I found that the ear drops were a lot easier to use for creating the droplets, as they created a rounder, 3D water bubble. I tried using water on a glass chopping board, with my tablet placed at the bottom to light it up. This set-up was very awkward, as the water droplets did not have the defined shape and roundness that I was trying to achieve, therefore making it harder to focus. This is the image that I attempted.
This image was photographed at the beginning of the month, and these water/oil droplets have stayed in tact as we speak. This shot was lit with a table lamp placed above the droplets and a blue fibre optic light to add the sparkle in the bubbles.
This photograph was taken using a Nikon macro lens attached to the Sony a600.
The photograph of the tulip was taken using my mobile phone early in the morning after the rain had stopped. The final image was edited in Snapseed, which is a mobile editing software. I increased the contrast of the final image.
The photographs below have been taken using the Sony a6000 early in the morning with available light. All these images have been slighting cropped to tidy around the edges.
The image of dew drops on the washing line (below) was also taken with my mobile phone. I set the mobile phone on 'Pro' setting, under exposed the shot by 1 stop and changed the aperture to f11 to get all the dew drops in focus. I was very close to the dew drops, this blurred the background. The dew drops were hanging from the bottom of the washing line, I rotated the final image to have the dew drops sitting on the washing line.
The photograph below is of water droplets pouring out from a bursting balloon, just before the water from the balloon landed on the ground. I have heavily cropped this image to focus on the dancing water droplets.
The photograph below was taken with my mobile phone, focusing on the dew drop, I switched on the built in light bulb on the camera to add light onto the dew drop. I did not use flash as it over powered the final image. This image was not edited.
