Water splashing

[Dan!]

Like alot of you I was confined to the house last weekend, so I set up a little rig for some water splashing shots. This is only my second attempt at this so any tips are welcomed.

ISO 100
1/200

1 & 2 @ f/8

3 & 4 @ f/2.5

On camera flash fired on low power setting.

good start to these 2 things i will say watch your backgrounds and like previously said add colour to the water or alternativly to that line the glass/bowl with colourful plastic

Not bad at all I think that the ones with the smaller aperture are a little crisper but that is down to DoF I think that all you need to do is refine your technique and composition and you'll get some great results
