How a splash photo was taken

I wrote about my husband, Vince taking a ‘splash’ shot with his camera. I thought he had taken multiple images it seems that is not the case. So to satisfy those members who are curious about how he did it, here is what happened. He had a big white piece of board at the back and the camera was on a tripod. He set the camera on time delay for 10 seconds. After ten seconds the camera takes two photos at a speed of 1/4000 (I don’t know what that means but it’s very fast). So he pushes the button on the camera, goes back to the glass, counts down ten seconds and pours the wine into the glass. The camera goes off - boom boom - and because it’s so fast it captures the droplets. Piece of cake. Wasn’t that interesting?

It is very interesting, I know that my husband and Vince would love to talk about photography.

@JudyEv My husband loved to take photos, I hated to be his model.

@LadyDuck Oh yes, I've had to be his model lots of time. I have some photos from years ago of me looking very VERY bored!

It is a fascinating subject. He gets a lot of pleasure from it.

Some come with incredible ideas then the rest all have a go but I guess that's okay. He is enjoying playing around with mirrors, lights and camera.

That's really impressive. He's a clever fella is your Vince. You're punching above your weight there aren't you?

@JudyEv I will assume you mean from an intellectual perspective. You hide it well

@WorDazza I suppose you'll wriggle out of this too. I'm reading that you think I am a lightweight intellectual. Well, actually, you'd be right.

Oh yeah, I always wanted to take some pictures like this one

. Awesome, I totally love it! Maybe one day I'll have a proper camera and I'll post amazing pictures like this one.

It sin't rocket science and you can do a lot with a basic camera. Vince's camera is good but it's certainly not top of the range. The camera is only as good as the person pushing the button.

He has learnt a lot from some of the photo sites and it has inspired him to greater things. Did you see this one? I really like it. I wrote about it a while back.

@fluffy69 Yes, that's right. I've been dropping a grape into water for the last ten minutes trying to get a better 'splash' photo. The things wives have to put up with!

With photography, I guess it helps to know what you are doing!

I'm not sure we do!

But he does get ideas and then sometimes we have a brainwave that helps.

We've been trying to get a bigger splash but it's not working very well.

That is interesting. Never experimented with photography. I just go with what my digital camera can snap.

I wish I was good at photography, or even had the time to learn, because there are so many wonderful things you can do with a camera to capture some amazing moments in time. That is a pretty neat effect Vince did to get the splash effect.

Hopefully I'll have a better image soon. I've been dropping a grape into water for yonks but haven't quite got it right yet. It's very boring.

He has picked up lots of tips from the other people on the sites. They seem quite good at sharing how they achieve certain effects.

Yes, that's cool. I don't know much about photography but I sometimes use the 'sports' setting on my DSLR which allows me to keep my finger pressed on the button and take lots of photos in quick succession. It's great for action shots or anything that is moving quickly.

That is really useful. There is a slight delay in my camera too and if I want to get a horse jumping a fence I have to try to pre-empty the moment.
