For example, let's eat some fruits, because they have a unique structure and look beautiful even in simple photos. But how to make the photos of fruits more beautiful? For a long time, most professionals who are keen on macro photography have adopted the method of shooting fruits in soda water, which will make the photos more transparent and bright when bubbles cover the subject.
What do you need to take such a photo? In order to take such photos, there is no need to equip a digital SLR camera at all. It is enough for ordinary cameras to have macro mode.
When shooting with a digital SLR camera, you can use any zoom lens with macro and extreme focal length. Any macro device may also be useful. In addition, of course, when using high-gloss optical elements, it is also convenient to use the remote control cable release device and tripod, but it is very important for photographers to take such photos as much as possible.
Of course, not the last factor is the availability of good lighting. Lighting can be an ordinary desk lamp or a lighting device suitable for macro and professional food photography. The light source must be placed behind the fruit so that its light can pass through the fruit and enter the camera. To create softer and more dispersed lights, you can use a soft light box or any other soft light box.
Now, you need to determine the container to be photographed. It can be a transparent glass or any food box. Remember that the container must be watertight, because shooting may last two minutes to several hours.
After everything is ready, you need to choose a suitable place to shoot. If there is no special theme, you can use a white cup made of ordinary plastic. It's easy to wash off the dirt on it, and it's moisture-resistant. Most importantly, it's even in texture, which is very suitable for taking such photos.
It is better to set the luminous flux at a certain height, which makes it easier to arrange the lights. Now you can pour soda water. To create such photos, it is best to use water with high carbonic acid content, because the foam is large and can be seen clearly in the photos.
Usually, the fruit or its particles start to rotate under the action of bubbles, so you will have to use the shutter speed as high as possible, about 1/250 or even faster, but this will not affect the image quality in the case of sufficient light. The initial setting of the camera should be roughly like this: ISO 100, and the aperture is in the range of 4-ff/1.3.5, but this is not a fixed law, but it needs constant trial and error, and everything is under control.
If you want to get a more detailed picture, you can use more aperture values. The choice of depth of field depends on the photographer's taste. It is also worth remembering that bubbles will defocus, thus making photos more beautiful and charming in their own way. In fact, there are many ways to shoot objects in liquid, and this is just one of them.
Don't be afraid to try, maybe you will soon find a new hobby-still life photography.
