Liquid Drop Art By Corrie White
|
She has made some discoveries in water drop photography, one of them being the unique three drop splash as in "Tiny Dancer". Another is multiple exposures in water drops. This is where the drops are falling in the same area but while panning the camera, she can get more than one splash in the same frame, such as "Liquid Flowers". She pushed the drip kit to the limits by creating a splash with a bubble-type base caused by an extra large drop as in "Suspended". She has combined soap film and water drops simultaneously as well as the water drop/liquid flow combo as you see in "Coral Sea Dreaming". One method she started using was to color white milk splashes using colored gels on the flash guns which made some very colorful forms.
The best part about liquid drop photography is that you can never fully forecast the result. “Each form is different and the possibilities are endless. There are always new forms to discover,” says Corrie.
If you’re tempted to try this yourself, Corrie’s main advice is to start doing it manually, and only invest into electronics once you get a knack of it. “Start out like I did by using a medicine dropper or a drip line with a regulator valve or something similar. Ideally you would need a true macro lens, a DSLR camera with manual controls, an external flash gun if possible.”
