Persistence of mind 🧠 The impossible collision 💧

in blackandwhite •  6 years ago 

"THE PHOTO..."

...that almost drove me mad...

After a few months of continuous photographing water drops collisions, I made the idea of the photo, a reality.

The idea was simple
Make a photo of a collision on top of a existing collision. Basically, collision on collision. Simple, but, it was all about the timing, precise timing... OK, I just took my camera and set up the whole thing. I know it, I wouldn't get it in the first shot, but this took me to the limits...

How many tries did It take ?
It would be just a ridiculous number, if I know it. What I can tell you is, that I took me over two months, three times ( something more) per week for the 4 hours. Doing the same thing over and over again.... 😱

As you know, I have a little bit of persistence and patience, but this was almost too much. The first weeks of shooting was going ok, as always...
But, when I tried all the options and started to repeat myself, after some time, I feeled that,
I was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result...
( Albert Einstein's, definition of crazy )

"How hard can it be?"

Cam: Sony a6000
Lens: Sony 90mm macro G OSS 1:1
Set: F7.1 / shutter 1/160/ Iso 100
Light: Ex. flash
Trigger & Valve: Pluto

POINT BEING
Because of the micro changes ( settings of a millisecond ), that I always made the progress wasn't visible, but every try, every photo, that I made, lead to this impossible creation. 👍

NO MATTER, HOW MAD THE IDEA IS, IF YOU BELIEVE AND STAY IN THE RIGHT STATE OF MIND, YOU CAN MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE!

I hope you enjoy the photo and if you are excited to see more amazing footage, don't forget to follow me👍

Till next time...
Yours truly, @marjanko

                    very true as you say. to get images like this must have perseverance and patience. I kept trying and practicing until I was satisfied with the results of the image.

                                My friend!
                                YOU are going through the struggle I went through back in 2009!
                                Back then though, there were not a lot of tutorials on double splash photography!
                                Back then, you could not get a hold of a stop-shot setup (which automates things with electronics and solenoid valves :)
                                I actually got one of those setups recently, because I wanted to get back into the saddle so to speak (I stopped and only did this type of photography on and off a couple of times more).

                                If you like, I can also post a tutorial on this, and help you out so you can avoid all that frustration (believe me, I feel your pain as well as your feeling of success!).
                                The success ratio without automated gear is just soooo frustrating! hehehe (you have lucky days sometimes though.

                                If you visited my macro site (under construction) you saw that I will be putting there my speed photography as well (water splash mostly).

                                But if you want to see more samples, just go to:
                                https://www.facebook.com/WaterSculptures/

                                I'll post a gallery here soon as well (was planning to already).

                                Feel free to ask about any one of those photos ;)
