Creative Photography using Olive Oil and Water

 

Are you interested in creative photography? The pictures I have included in this post seem complex to catch, yet in reality,it’s not that difficult to shoot them if you have correct direction and enthusiasm. I can guarantee you that if you follow this instructional post, you will have the capacity to get astounding outcomes, have a great time, and enhance your photography abilities at the same time!

In this post, I will reveal to you the steps, the right setup, and thoughts on the most proficient method to capture photographs using olive oil and water, and a couple of tips to significantly enhance your post editing work.

As should be obvious from the photos, the setup is very basic. In the first place, holding the glasssection a high from the floor is important. I used to put it generally high, around 15 inches, on the grounds as moving the background of image (for this situation use green fabric) is significantly less demanding than moving a glass plate filled with water.

The following stage is to fill the holder with water. How much water relies upon what sort of photograph you need to obtain. You have two choices:

1) Add a little measure of water and you will get a few textures from the glass. This is on the grounds that you will center your camera onto the water surface and for this situation; the glass will be extremely near it.

2) Add roughly at least 2 inch of water and the any textureappearing on the glass will vanish.

 

Deciding if you need glass surface in your last photo is actually a creative choice than whatever else. Explore different possibilities regarding the two setups and find out what suits your imaginative view best.

The next step isto put the olive oilin the water. Once more, you have two choices.

1)  When you drop the oil in the water, thebubbles will have a level appearance.

2)       Simply utilize a straw to rapidly make a circle in the oily water to make little bubbles inside it.

The last thing you need to focus on is lighting. The least difficult approach is to have someflashlight in background, and make sure not to have reflections in the camera focal point directly.

I love playing with one light and have some dull sections in the photograph, however every photograph is unique, and again it is only a photographer’s own artistic choice.

 

Final Tips:

As these pictures will becaptured inside so you might have at least more than one light on the roof. Switch off some of those lights, particularly on the off chance that they are sharp lights since they can make disagreeable reflections the oil drops.

In the first place, take your photographs in RAW mode in light of the fact that now and again you will have the capacity to go more far in editingthem without losing picture quality.

Utilize life-view mode as it will help you with centering and forming your shots. Continuously capture images in manual, having your camera on tripod. This enables you to concentrate properly and shoot diverse pictures easily.

Post Editing:

After shooting an image, I generally begin myediting in thelight room to make the essential changes. For this sort of photograph, it’s always best to increase contrast. I additionally work on clarity, and change somevibrancy and saturation levels as well. Each photo is unique, so it’s better to test some editing to get the required effects and final image.
