In photography, technology and creativity merge to capture fleeting moments that escape the naked eye. This particular project focused on motion focus, which achieved a new level of sharpness and precision thanks to the lightning-fast flash times of the Satos.

The flash firing times for the Satos Generator were t01 min with light 1: 1/27000s, light 2: 1/20000s, light 3: 1/12000s. The sharpness of the images did not result from the shutter speed, but from the extremely short flash firing times. Thanks to this, it was possible to capture every single drop in motion 100% in focus.

The photos were taken with the Sony α9 III and a frame rate of 24 frames per second, which made it possible to take photos with the short flash firing times without causing shading of the shutter.

Light 1: A 35x60cm softbox as an edge light for the glass.

Light 2: A Pulso L without reflector was used as a background light to create the round circle of light in the background. Because it shines through the frosted glass plate, the circle is evenly and diffusely illuminated.

Light 3: A Picolite with projection attachment brightens the ice cubes in the left-hand corner of the picture very precisely and discreetly and brings even more clarity to the lower, thicker base of the glass.

A concave mirror opposite reflects the diffuse light coming from the background and shines it slightly onto the front part of the ice cubes.
