I found myself being influenced by the cinematic approach to time;
The dripping tap is used to give the audience a sense of time, in this clip time has been up via the time-lapse technique. It can also be used to highlight a slow motion scenario. I'm going to produce a still image that captures the action of the drip.
Aperture, issue 158, Photography and time, 2000- Flashback; The photography of Dr Harold Eugene Edgerton.
Edgerton used 35mm movie film camera with a synchronised flash
My first shoot
DSLR settings; APERTURE- F/4.5, SHUTTER SPEED-1/125, ISO-800
Equipment; DSLR camera, Tripod, 2x Tungsten lights, Shallow bowl
Out of 300 images this is the only one I found successful.
Second shoot
The settings were the same except the shutter speed 1/1000.
Water and blue food colouring;
Milk and blue food colouring;
ISO 400, 1/500 shutter speed
Half a crown
I had captured half a crown, however I did not feel fulfilled by the images I had produced. The images didn't excite me the way I had envisioned. The ISO had reduced my image quality dramatically and the end result meant that I had grainy images. In my final shoot I want to explore different liquid consistencies to see if this would alter the outcome, I need a lighter environment so that I can use an ISO of 100-200.
