Splash!

Splash!
TSC: fast shutter speed

Having neither internal nor external flash made this difficult.
I used a tripod, manual settings and serial exposure. Autofocus was useless so I tried to focus manually on the point where I expected the action to be. To get a short enough exposure I had to crank up the ISO and still ended up with underexposure. This is the best of many attempts...

Au Cœur... diagonalhorizon, Champland, Heide, Holger Hagen and 36 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thanks a lot, Amelia! It's Victorian, like some sherry glasses of the same colour I once found in a Guernsey secondhand shop;-)

You may say it's underexposed but that has made the photo into something special.

Thanks very much, Sami! I had to do some post processing -lightening the centre and adding a dark vignette.

Somewhat standard procedure for me =,D

Works well!

My post processing depends, sometimes I just like to do it, sometimes it absolutely needs doing and sometimes I can get away with hardly any (except cleaning away the dust on the sensor).

I tried something similar a while back. This certainly isn't easy and, as you were doing it without flash, this is a great result.

Thank you so much, George! I usually don't miss flash but in this case I did and I didn't have a free hand for a torch;-)

I wouldn't say this was underexposed................the light is really beautifully and perfect for bringing out the colour of the bowl and it's reflection. The water droplets are pretty good too.

I wouldn't even have attempted this without flash..........so I'm well impressed with this result and you should be too..!!

Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks very much, Keith! I placed the bowl so the light from the window shone through it but I still had to brighten it in post processing (and darken the boring bits).

Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
That's the beauty of digital photography Gudrun. I sometimes enjoy the post processing as much as taking the photo.

Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Yes, absolutely, it can be fun! I use the Nik filters (Plug-ins for Lightroom), they are excellent.

You are to be congratulated on your results (and determination) fast shutter speed shots are so difficult. This appeals to me with the green of the bowl and yellow tennis ball. I think this came out well despite not having a flash Gudrun.

Sorry for late comment.

Thanks very much, Chris! I did struggle with the shot, most attempts were for the bin. btw-the tennis ball was a small clementine;-)
