4 Ink and Water

5 Ink and Water Photoshoot 1 Using a continuous shutter mode. Shutter priority 1/2000 Action shots were good but very dark as the flash was deactivated

6 Ink and Water Photoshoot 2 Single shots with flash came out brighter, but I had to get timing of ink drop and pressing shutter.

7 Ink and Water Photoshoot 3 Single shots again with better timing. The first 3 used marco settings. Better view of ink cloud

The whiter the background the better I have tried to

8 My 2 best photos Cleaning up of background of each photo using curves and painting the background white. The whiter the background the better I have tried to keep the clouds edges natural. The orange ink has been flipped. I have added a darken layer mode to create merged clouds. Ebi The blue is too pixilated at the top

9 How to edit in Photo Shop

10 Select your image and crop Starting image Selected and cropped image

11 Select curves slide the white point to get as white as possible without loosing detail in the ink Slide the black point to add back detail

12 Use the magic wand-delete to get rid of the background. (Make sure your background is a layer first) Remember that you need to keep the ink as natural as possible. Use the eraser for small bits the wand misses. Finally, flatten the image. I have cropped and moved the top ink cloud down.

13 I have cleaned up my 3 images

14 Select all use move tool to drag 2 images onto the third

15 Change the opacity so you can see each layer Ctrl T to bring up transform tool You may want to make the layers smaller or larger Arrange until you are happy with the composition

16 Edit 1 lighten layer blend. I have also swapped the layers around

17 Edit 2 red and yellow layer only. Overlay layer blend curves adjustment

18 Edit 3 moving layers multiply layer blend

19 Edit 4 The image has been copied and flipped to produce a symmetrical image

20 Ink and Water Photoshoot 4 Shutter 1/2000 I had an assistant putting in the ink whilst I pressed the shutter. I changed the vessel to a wine glass. I liked the shape and thought it would add to the overall image. I also changed to a black background. The shots have worked well as the black seems to make a better contrast. I zoomed in a lot closer as well

21 Edit 5 I have used curves but this time increased the black. The shapes of the ink have become sharper. The glare of the flash on the glass needs to be removed
