Sndbox Summer Camp Photography/Filmmaking - Task "Take some shots" - High Speed Photography

Fifth part of the "Take some shots" @sndbox Photography Quest. If you don't know what i am talking about, you should really read this: https://steemit.com/sndbox/@guyfawkes4-20/sndbox-summer-camp-photography-and-filmmaking-quest-rules

Another task of the Photography Quest is to take some shots from different types of photography. This time i made the High Speed Photography task.

About the photo above

I was so exited to try and make some high-speed photography, i did not do this type for so long, maybe like 4-5 years. Initially i wanted to go at a studio and use a complex light setup, but all the studios i usually rent were fully booked.

That is how i taught of using my only light in the house :)) As i said, i have a 2 lights setup, but one of them is at a friend. So, i used the only one available and also remembered i had some fruits left from my photo yesterday. I went out and got a sparkly wine bottle and all my setup was ready for the photo.

"The photograph itself may be taken in a way as to appear to freeze the motion" - as stated by the Wikipedia page here

I shot so many variations of this, but finally a minimal and close-up style was the best, in my opinion. I will post 2 more shots at the end of the post, to make an idea.

The technical part

For this photo i used my KAISER light (i spoke about this in my last post, highly recommend it), a background i made at a local print shop (A2 dimmension) and my trusty D300s with the all-around 50mm 1.8.

I want to talk a little about the 50mm 1.8. As you saw from all my @sndbox Quest posts, it seemed i made a "Use only this lens Challenge", that shows what a beast the 50 can be. If you don't have it, buy it!

As i forgot to take some photos for the making of, i will just put a light-diagram of the setup i used:

For this type of photography you really have to use your "Continuous shooting mode" and set it on the max speed that your camera supports. This will let you shoot multiple shots in a quick succession and will let you capture things like in the photo above.

I edited the RAW files a little, more contrast, more light and vibrancy. After that i just applied a little vignette to make the glass pop, and that's it.

As i promised, here are two more photos from the shooting:
