I wasn’t able to take the day off to photograph so in the late afternoon I went to the Merced Wildlife Refuge hoping to get some waterfowl photographs. Very few ducks but being a lover of landscapes I still considered the shoot a success.

Looking South, 1/30 sec, f7.1, 130mm, ISO200, tripod mounted

Looking West, 1/100sec, f7.1, 170mm, ISO200, tripod mounted

Keep clicking,

Once again I was inspired by a video on uTube featuring Gavin Hoey.

I won’t tell you how I got water to shoot out of a bottle. I will tell you that a friend of mine, Teri Seale, lent me a really cool bottle with four parts that allowed me to get two different colors of water, and Teri, I didn’t break the bottle, Thanks a lot.

I used two stobes to wash out the background and one to highlight the bottle. Manual focus at 1/200 to sync the flash, f14, at 75mm. Don’t forget the large bucket and towel.

Keep clicking,

Dave
