I've always wanted to do this, to photograph someone playing with water and splashing it around. It's been raining here all day and we found a good spot for a make shift night studio (just below our building) with pools of rain water. I thought of giving it a quick try.

My lighting wasn't what i had in mind. I would've added a front fill but forgot to bring my other flash. I did bring the stand for it though but I just forgot to put the unit in my bag. well, there's always a next time.

Since the 5D Mark II has no multiple exposure feature (one of the things I like with Nikon cameras), I had no choice but to layer it in PS.

Tip #1: play around with blending modes! I used screen blending mode for this one if you're wondering.

Tip #2: Visualize the final image before shooting or at least put your camera on a tripod for easier blending.
