Fun little afternoon project to capture some action shots, there are two ways to get your action photo, one involves some Photoshop and the other consists of some patience!
This is just what I used, but you could shoot outdoors and just use a white (or black tablecloth or fabric):
As I mentioned there are two different ways to do this. Either way put your camera on the tripod. Set your focal point (I used the edge of the bowl) setup your lights, camera etc. I used ISO100, 47mm focal length, f/5.6.
Set your camera on burst mode, set your speedlight to High-Speed-Sync and continually shoot as you drop the strawberries into the bowl. Beware it makes a big mess! You may need to do this multiple times. You can also drop several berries at once. Make sure your shutter speed is high enough to freeze the action.
Same setup, but I placed a strawberry on a skewer and then placed it in the frame and took a single photo. I did this several times, moving the strawberry around. I did use method one for just the splash at the end. Less mess.
Take the images into Photoshop, make sure everything is aligned and then mask out everything but the strawberry with a layer mask. Voila, you will then have strawberries bouncing all over the place and a splash at the end.
Here is a little video of the edit in Photoshop:
Of course, just like me, you can combine both methods. Just remember to clean up your mess. The milk and corn flour mixture dries and gets tacky, so cleaning up straight away is recommended. Also, if you do this on a hot day, sour milk … well, let’s just say it’s not a pleasant smell!
