These photos are inspired by a weekly challenge of the Safari Habana project, of which I have been a member for more than 5 years. For the current week, the theme was water, so I thought I'd play a bit with the whole distortion effect that the precious liquid causes when we see it through the glass .
For the background at first I wanted to use a craft made of wood but it wasn't going to cover the whole area I wanted, however you can see in the photo how interesting it looks too.
So in the end I used two dresses of mine, which have those patterns that could look very nice as the lines accentuate more the distortion effect. My husband assisted me with the lighting 馃榿, as my house is a bit dark and not enough natural light was coming in.
I took a group of glasses of different shapes and sizes to play with the effect of each one of them. I wanted something that was very cylindrical and high, but I didn't have any glass or cup like that, so I took a jar of olives that was almost empty. I ate the ones that were left 馃槄馃槅 and cleaned it for the occasion....馃憣
I used a 50mm 1.8 lens with apertures between f4 and f7.1.
In the last photo I wanted to add a bit of chaos, and to break up the monochromatic, so I asked my assistant (my husband again 馃槀) to drop a cherry from at least 40 cm high into the glass. That photo is made with an aperture f 5.0 and a shutter speed of 320, ISO 500.
I hope you like them and are motivated to try things like this at home, and that you try it even with your cell phone.
If you made it this far, know that I wish you a great day!
Estas fotos est谩n inspiradas en un reto semanal del proyecto Safari Habana. Para la semana actual, el tema era el agua, as铆 que se me ocurri贸 jugar un poco con todo el efecto de distorsi贸n que provoca el preciado l铆quido cuando lo vemos a trav茅s del cristal.
Para el fondo en un principio quer铆a usar una artesan铆a hecha de madera pero no me iba a cubrir toda el 谩rea que yo quer铆a, sin embargo pueden ver en la foto como luce tambi茅n muy interesante.
As铆 que al final us茅 dos vestidos m铆os, que tienen esos patrones que pod铆an verse muy bien pues las lineas acent煤an m谩s el efecto de distorsi贸n. Mi esposo me asisti贸 con la iluminaci贸n, pues mi casa es un poco oscura y no llegaba suficiente luz natural.
Tom茅 un grupo de copas de diferentes formas y tama帽o para jugar con el efecto que provoca cada una de ellas. Quer铆a algo que fuera bien cil铆ndrico y elevado, pero no tenia ning煤n vaso o copa as铆 , por lo que tom茅 un frasquito de aceitunas que estaba ya casi vac铆o. Me com铆 las que quedaban jjjj y lo limpi茅 para la ocasi贸n...
Us茅 un lente 50 mm 1.8 con aperturas entre f4 y f7.1.
En la 煤ltima foto quise agregar un poco de caos, y que rompiera lo monocrom谩tico , por lo que le ped铆 a mi asistente (mi esposo de nuevo jjjj馃槀) que dejara caer una cereza desde al menos 40 cm de altura hacia el interior de la copa. Esa foto esta hecha con una apertura f 5.0 y una velocidad de obturaci贸n de 320, ISO 500.
Espero que les gusten y se motiven a probar cositas as铆 en casa, y que lo intentes incluso con tu tel茅fono m贸vil.
Si llegaste hasta aqu铆, que sepas que te deseo un gran d铆a!
