Sequence of Decay (gif)

This is my sequence of decay. For this I froze some water that was mixed with red food dye to make it more interesting. The water was in a pot, this was to get the dome effect.

I used a tripod to keep the camera steady between shots, as well as using the built in timer in the camera so I wouldn't have to touch it to prevent any movement.

Overall it took 71 shots for the ice to melt completely, taking a shot every five minutes. The camera was set to raw with an ISO 100, the aperture was 2.5" and the shutter speed was f11.

There wasn't many challenges as I had the timer and didn't have to wait every five minutes to take a picture.

I tried to block out any natural light so through out the day I wouldn't get any shifts in lighting, as it took over 5 hours and the ice wasn't completely melted by then, I had to stop as the battery on the camera died.

    Its a shame the battery ran out because the sequence is very stable both in lighting and lack of shake

High Speed Photography

Image
These are our high speed shots where we all worked in a team as you need people doing different things. One person need to drop the plum (me) another had to trigger the flash and someone had to reset the infer red receiver.  We had to constantly re-fill the glass bowl, as when the plum would drop in, it would loose water and wouldn't form the crowning effect of the water.
