Water photography: get creative with fine details

In the final instalment of our Shoot Like A Pro series on water photography, we explain how you don’t need access to coastlines, huge waterfalls and lakes to create stunning images. There are a number of ways to include water in your photography, particularly getting creative and up close.


Also Note: as this is the last part in the series, our Shoot Like A Pro series will pause for the holidays and continue with its next theme beginning on Monday 7 January.


Water photography: get creative with fine details


While large-scale features in the landscape have obvious photographic potential, they aren’t the only subjects worth shooting. Think smaller and you’ll find that there are plenty of watery details in ponds and streams, or even an unassuming patch of grass.


On still, misty mornings, foliage, flowers and grass are often covered in dew. You’ll need to get very close to isolate individual droplets, so a macro lens is essential. However, you can also shoot a group of grass stalks with the longest focal length and closest focus setting on a standard zoom.

Shooting individual rocks in a stream can also produce stunning images, especially if you combine this with other techniques such as slow shutter speeds or colourful reflections.


You can also find colourful leaves, which are perfect for watery still-life images. Try shooting leaves floating on the surface, or when submerged below the water, for a more abstract effect.

10 alternativas a Cuevana para ver películas online

10 alternativas a Cuevana para ver películas online : Durante este último tiempo, en Cuevana se sucedieron varios “problemas” por los cuales hubo que ajustar algunas cosas antes de tiempo (como el rediseño del sitio), que dejaron a algunos usuarios ciertos problemas para acceder a las películas o series del portal. Pero realmente esto es algo que no incumbe a los usuarios y, como sabemos, existen muchas otras alternativas a Cuevana dando vueltas por Internet, que intentaremos presentar aquí mismo. Los sitios que repasaremos funcionan del mismo modo que Cuevana, mediante la instalación de un plugin que permite visualizar los videos de Megaupload o WUShare, entre otros servicios, en una calidad de imágen realmente excelente. Tal como sucede con el más popular servicio, todos ellos tienen publicidad que en algunos casos resulta insoportable, pero como dice Federico en DotPod “a caballo regalado no se le miran los dientes”.

Learn Composition from the Photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson

“Do you see it?” This question is a photographic mantra. Myron Barnstone , my mentor, repeats this question every day with the hopes that we do “see it.” This obvious question reminds me that even though I have seen Cartier-Bresson’s prints and read his books, there are major parts of his work which remain hidden from public view. Beneath the surface of perfectly timed snap shots is a design sensibility that is rarely challenged by contemporary photographers. Henri Cartier-Bresson. © Martine Franck Words To Know 1:1.5 Ratio: The 35mm negative measures 36mm x 24mm. Mathematically it can be reduced to a 3:2 ratio. Reduced even further it will be referred to as the 1:1.5 Ratio or the 1.5 Rectangle. Eyes: The frame of an image is created by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines.
