Sound Photography

[connersz]

I need to shot a picture with the subject 'sound'.

I have a couple of ideas but they are quite complex, I have one week to do it.

Any ideas?

Photo Triggers sound trigger and something exploding

Put a speaker on it's side with some grains of rice and take shots adjusting the shutter time till you get slight blur from the rice.

Gig shot.

How about a tuning fork vibrating and placed in water creating vibrations through the water / splashes

Good....

There's always..................

Get an OLD speaker. Mix up some water and corn flower then pour it onto the speaker. Then play music through it and watch the mix

If you have a string instrument you can try different angles of vibrating strings etc..

Someone standing in front of a speaker with their hair blown back and a mad expression on their face? You could use a fan or something to blow the hair. Just a thought.:shrug:

God, there must be something wrong with me, the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was a mancunian with a camera.

Couldnt use photoshop for the challenge, straight from the cam only.

How about a loud speaker next to a candle flame, so the music makes the candle "bounce", then maybe use a filter to lengthen the exposure time?

I know this is an old thread and the time is well past but to add to Darren's idea, you can use any speaker but if using a current one, stick some clingfilm over the inside of the cone.
