Beautiful High Speed Water Photography

Posted in Articles - 27th Sep, 08 at 7:45 pm - 118 Comments

I love high speed Photography. Being able to capture a moment in time that we, as humans, would otherwise be unable to see. The beautiful mixture of technical precision and artistic freedom.

The following are a collection of High Speed Photographs featuring the use of water or liquid. While you may have seen many collections featuring water, bullets, exploding fruit etc, I thought I would pay tribute and showcase some of the most stunning and beautiful liquid based High speed Photographs.

I like the third picture with the apple most. It is so vivid in its colors and has such a perfect composition. Wow!

Kelsey : 3rd Oct, 2008

beautiful,
but it should be titled high speed "liquid" photography, seeing as there's milk and wine in there ^_^
tommy : 5th Oct, 2008

Great work. I enjoyed looking at these. Thanks for posting.
Surfer Jerry : 5th Oct, 2008

Great pictures! I love the slow motion pictures and the perspective that they give.
Bekeleven : 7th Oct, 2008

Not even a mention of Harold Edgerton? For shame.

For those unaware, Edgerton invented this type of photography, as well as some other types. His work is breattaking, moreso when you realize it was done with just flashbulbs and raw film most of the time. See http://images.google.com/images?q=edgerton

Thanks to all the readers for their comments on the post.
I think you have all agreed how talented the featured photographers here are and how much of an art form this style of Photography really is.

Regarding 'Bones' comment on image # Seven being fake. The exif data on the photo seems to claim it was taken using a Canon Eos 350D. It is actually pictures of Air Bubbles in the water (upside down).

The refreshing orange picture is just that, almost palpably refreshing. Perfect colours for a Windows screen background too. I would love one at a higher resolution for this purpose - any chance? email me.

Nice tutorial, the result is wonderful.. thanks

Richard S. : 24th Aug, 2010

These shots are great. This is what I was trying to do for my project this week. I like the different colors that were used. For some reason I couldnt get my photos to look as great as these. But I think I was close. I did a golf ball dropping in a glass cup of water. My fav one is the wine glass with the red wine. Looks like they got this right on the first chance, but its great.
