For my final project, I attempted to emulate the work of Martin Waugh. Martin Waugh takes pictures of falling water droplets. The whole project took me about 2 hours to complete with around 300 total pictures. My setup was a tripod, camera, baking sheet full of water, food coloring, and a plastic bag with a hole in it hanging from the ceiling. I let the water from the bag drop into the baking sheet, and I would anticipate when to take the picture. The hardest part about this project was either the timing of taking the picture or getting the focus right. Getting the timing right was difficult because you had to anticipate when the water drop would fall and hit the water below, and the window to take a picture was literally only milliseconds. Getting the focus right was difficult, too, because my rig was improvised very fast and not very well, the water droplets would fall in a different spot every time so I would have to wait until the water droplet fell into the focused spot to take the picture. I started the selection process by cutting the 300 photos into the best 100, the best 100 into the best 50, the best 50 about 25, and then the best 25 into the best 18. I couldn’t really go any lower than the best 18, because I liked all the best pictures so much that I think that all of them should be displayed. Although not professional quality, I’m very satisfied with the results of my pictures, especially for it being the first time I’ve done something like this.
