My nephew used this tutorial to create photo for his school's competition. He won the school and took third place in the region.

Tutorial was good John. Even I got it to work. By the way, the links for the photosig shots were dead, when I tried them.

John
I just read your tutorial. Whether it is your idea or a concept passed down or aquired...it is still a very cool shot. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. As a 'photographer' very new to the digital hihgway I am looking for help, ideas, information at every turn.

Your photo is quite good. The asymmetrical character of it creates interest.

What's up fellow Carolinian. I don't even know if you'll ever look at this page again, but if you do, I've got a few of questions for you.
First, how do you avoid your own reflection and the reflection of your camera in the picture?
And second, how do you get the Rain-X to work? I went out and bought some, poured it straight onto the glass and the water didn't really bead. Also it left a lot of streaks. Then I tried it with different mixtures of water, but to no avail.
And last, how did you achieve optimal lighting? I tried placing the lights all over the place but just got bad glares, discoloration, and more reflection. I'd appreciate any advice you could offer me... Thanks |

Greetings :)
The 'rain-x' is a treatment for the glass. It's not the liquid you see in the photo. You apply the rain-x to the glass in the same way you would wax a car. You rub it on, let it dry, and then buff it off. Then the 'water' will bead up nicely on your glass.
My own reflections in the glass were not hard to avoid in this case. The camera lens is only an inch or two above the surface of the glass.
I took this particular photo outside in the shade. Lighting was nothing extraordinary... give it a try :) Let me know how it turns out for you :)

Thanks for replying so promptly!
The only thing I didn't do with the Rain-X was to buff it off. Do you use a paper towel for that?
I guess the only reason I got reflection was from the lighting as I only had the lens an inch or so from the glass, but I was inside trying light from all over the place. Next time I'll try it outside with natural light.
Thanks again! |

| Great tutorial. Thanks. I see so many shots that take a roomfull of equipment and extensive post processing, even within the legal guidelines. Nice to see such relatively simple materials used so creatively. |

Great tutorial! Clearly others have used it and been rather successful with it as well.
I also saw on another site someone did daffadils (sp?). It came out great. The news to spreading. I wanna try one with my little sister as the subject. Gonna have to figure out a safe way to do it though.
Good stufF!

So I've been reviewing the tutorials as part of a feature article I am writing and taking a picture from their instructions and this is the first one I've processed. Good tutorial, John - very clear and good info - right down to the rain-x which I had to go out and procure.
Her's my not so original/ artistic try at it from a strict following of the tutorial - I am pretty pleased with the result. One can see how you could do all sorts of cool things with this process.
However, even when I choose the original image option in my portfolio the reds look funky. Here it is on my server in case anyone finds the reds have become blotchy pinks - I took no special care to calibrate it. |

| I agree that there is nothing wrong with copying other's images because much can be learned from playing with technique. As long as you are willing to credit the source of the original idea, seems perfectly exceptable to me. In most pursuits, any growth comes from building on the experience of those that came before and trying to duplicate their efforts is a natural course of development. |
