Over the course of this project I have learnt many skills surrounding water photography, some of which are practical like camera settings however sometimes water photography is about being in the right place at the right time or taking opportunities which come your way. Through my research alone I witnessed photos of destruction and agony and wondered how something as simple as water - comes in a bottle for 90p - could damage so much, mean so much but also help so much survive. Every living organism on the earth depends on water to survive and we often take the fact we have it for granted. As the only planet with water and living beings there is a lot to be said for the baths we fill to high, the taps we leave running and the oceans we pollute however this is just something overtime human kind will have to attempt to fix.
I have done a total of 10 shoots including my exam however this was not without a few bumps along the way, before this project I had never photographed water so was not expecting the challenge it actually was to take photographs of these droplets that were moving so fast. My favourite shoots so far have to be the food colouring and water shoot I did at the beginning of the project and the ice cubes and coloured water shoot I did for my exam. I loved these shoots and they really intrigued me in learning how to shoot water photography.
In the future I will definitely be continuing to study water as I want to expand my knowledge of high speed liquid photography but also landscape photography. Another area which intrigues me which I did not have the time or funds to explore this time round was underwater photography, I believe the beauty and the freedom of water can only be seen below the surface - as with most things.
