Stop Action Photography: Tips To Stop Action Using Strobes While Backlighting Glass

Stop motion or action photography is a great way to freeze a moment that shows motion. Whether that is water splashing, stopping a hummingbird's wings, or anything else you can think of, stop action photography will help produce creative and fun images.
In this video I will set up the studio, share tips and tricks for stop action photography, and share some images after shooting them.
Things You'll Need:
Strobes
Diffuser (substitute with a white sheet)
Softbox (Umbrellas work also)
Barn Doors (Be Creative Make Barn Doors Out of Cardboard)
Water
Towel To Clean Up

Hi Marshall! it was fun to see your process! One suggestion to save time on clean up is to have a base shot before any splashes. Then you can simply "paint" in the base shot with photoshop!

Thank you for the comment! That is a great suggestion. Definitely a big time saver to have an image that you could paint in a base. I actually bet you could create an action for that if you had a lot of images.

Really fascinating, thanks Marshall for documenting this entire process! It's not something I'm planning to try myself, but I really appreciate the video and your detailed instruction. Super educational, thank you! Edit: oh and by the way, your results are outstanding!
