got any 'do at home' photography projects for when I am bored?

I've done the water droplets thing:

and lighting matches:

I guess the next one to try is party poppers, like this;

Until I get some, anyone got any projects I can try?

Will rep for good ideas

What equipment do you have? (referring to the pictures you took)

**localfool** · 08-19-2009, 10:04 AM

Not sure about your question, but damn, those photos are quite amazing, gjdm!

You can try exploding a glass cup. Although it would get quite messy. And I'm not sure how you'd go about that.

But I assume it would look cool

I might try dropping glasses onto concrete, might get expensive though

Nice photographs, I love speed photography. They're a quite a few shots out there where people have captured a water balloon being popped & the water splashing all over.

I'd recommend looking at Photoboothguy's gallery. He has some amazing speed photographs.

He has done some good stuff! Though he has access to an audio trigger to fire his shutter. I'm firing mine manually via a cable release

cmon misc, you must have some suggestions for me

Any tips? I'll be using either a wireless remote or my TI-89 as a release, have no wired remote

. Maybe I'll set it to take continuous on a timer and keep dripping hoping I get lucky.

edit: have any of those small firecrackers? would be awesome (but probably very hard) to catch one exploding.

I dripped a small puddle onto the CD, let the camera auto focus on that point, then switched to manual focus so the camera did not hunt about when I started shooting.

Then I used a cable remote release and shot away at 5 frames per sec, all the while dripping water onto the CD.

Not as precise as using audio/laser triggers, but alot cheaper.

Stick your camera into manual mode, then shoot as fast as your flash will allow.

Nice brah! whats a ti89 do? Never heard of it before.

Gonna have another go?

**broadcast** · 08-19-2009, 11:41 PM

Drop stuff into cream/milk, I've done campinos, strawberries, cherries, blueberries etc. Can't post pics yet though, under 30 posts lol

Um, you can take some stock photos of random stuff. Build random DIY photo gear for lulz.

That's all I can think of right now, it's late =P

My BF and I are both photographers. Our current do-at-home projects are not suitable for posting, however......

Seriously, though, my favorite is to just go outside and shoot closeups of all sorts of nature sh!t - flowers, leaves, mushrooms, water droplets, etc.

Your water drop is amazing - I'll have to try that!
