The Concept:
Want to combine yard work with photography? In Today’s Photo Minute we present a simple and fun way to add that little extra touch to your flower and plant images.
The Assignment:
Find a couple of subjects and get your macro lens or close-up accessories ready for some fun. Spray down the flower with a spray bottle or nozzle on your hose. Use a fine mist for small droplets and more water for larger droplet sizes. Play with not only getting photos of the flowers or plants with water on them but get even closer if you can and focus in on a larger droplet and see what reflections you can capture. Finally, try different types of lighting such as shade but also direct sunlight to see what the effects are.
Added tip: Use a straw and dip it in the small cup of water covering the top end with your finger to keep the water held inside. Then you can release the water drop by drop or more exactly where you want to place it on your subject.
