Ugly McGregor<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\nThere\u2019s an otherworldly beauty to the reflection of water hitting a subject or background.<\/strong> It adds a fascinating dynamic to the scene, although one must be careful as not to make the effect too prominent and distract the viewer. There are several ways\u00a0to achieve this, but let\u2019s have a look at the cheapest way.<\/p>\nSupplies Needed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Plastic bowl or tub<\/li>\n
- Reflective Material\n
\n- Aluminum foil, CD, or broken mirror<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Small fan<\/li>\n
- Low wattage light 150w\/300w<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You should take note that the size of your plastic bowl will affect the coverage area<\/strong>. If you need to cover a larger area, you will need a larger bucket.<\/p>\nTake a sheet of aluminum, scrunch it up, and then unfold it back into\u00a0a\u00a0straight sheet. The foil should now have a<\/strong> lot of creases.<\/strong> Place this into the bottom of the bowl and fill with water. If you don\u2019t have aluminum, a broken CD or a broken mirror will help achieve the same effect. However, you\u00a0will need to be careful while handling the sharp objects.<\/p>\nTake your light and direct it into the bowl. The water needs to be moving<\/strong> for the reflections to be noticeable on the background or subject. To achieve this, ever so slightly run your hands through the water<\/strong>, or aim a fan at the water’s surface. This will cause a tranquil movement of the light.<\/p>\n
