Take a sharp photo of action that’s so incredibly fast, the human eye can’t see it.
Mission Impossible? Take a sharp photo of action that’s so incredibly fast, the human eye can’t see it. That’s the assignment photographer Ben Clay gave himself.
Ben experimented with several lighting setups and concluded that he needed each light to do a specific job: A soft main light to render overall dimensional shape to the body of water. Hard gelled rim lights to add sparkle and color on the edges of every single droplet. A single, focused background light for a vignetted effect. Black (negative) fill reflectors to add contrast to the water droplets.
