We wash our hands many times a day, but how many times we realize how the water moves, splashes and flows around? Our daily life is full of wonders and details that we so often overlook.
The movement of the water on this pic was captured using flash to ‘freeze’ the action. The flash was positioned behind the hand to offer back light, both increasing the visual impact of the image and allowing to use as few flash power as possible to obtain the fastest response. I’ll be explaining this technique in more detail in the future.
