I have a deep photographic attraction for the shapes of water, but I seldom try to capture them in a controlled environment. This time however, I put an inox bowl upside down and made water fall on it in order to shoot the ripples where the light would create this reflection on the bowl.
This is really interesting, Remi. I like the idea and the graceful mysteriousness about it.The texture is lovely. Is it black and white or is that just how it appears because of the silver of the bowl and the lack of other colors? Great work!
Great job Rémi! I love the abstraction, ambiguity and dynamism here. Very imaginative.
For me, this is the finest image I recall you posting on FS. Well done.
Thank you Chris ! I think I'll try to find new ideas to display water in this manner, as it brings a different focus to the element. I imagine I'll need to invest in a macro setup at some point.
@Jennifer : I'm not sure why, but I wanted to reply to you and the button is greyed out. Anyway, first and foremost, thank you !
It looks like a black and white image, but it's not. There's actually little going on in the way of post-processing, it was mainly cloning out a few droplets and ripples of water that were visible outside of the ray of light, as well as the border of the bowl which was discernable on the top-right corner. The rest was mainly a matter of shooting the same subject ~200 times and choosing the shapes that I found the most harmonious.
Hey Remi, this may be due to you getting to the discussion by way of Chris's notification (ie can only reply to that). I have seen the same when following other notifications.
That's what I thought (about the b&w look). I've had that happen too a few times where an image looked b&w, but it was shot in color.
Well, keep up the great work! I enjoyed looking through your page. Beautiful work!
Thanks for posting Remi.
This is certainly dark and mysterious. Not only is there ambiguity within the image itself, but I was left wondering what an 'inox bowl' might be until Professor Google helped me out.
