You can shoot dramatic paint drops as they splash on a surface, and you don’t need lots of sophisticated special equipment. All you need is a DSLR, the right lens, and a shoe-mount flash…and good timing. Gavin Hoey demonstrates the setup and steps he takes to capture a perfect paint splash crown. But photography is only half the story for Gavin, so after the shoot join Gavin in Photoshop CS6 where he’ll edit his RAW image into the final shot using Adobe Camera RAW.
