Basically I want to try this, where you can see the water and perspex in the same shot but not see where the two meet. I'm finding it hard to explain so here's a picture.
I tried last night but no matter what I adjusted and changed I could always see where the perspex met the water and there was a horrible line across the image. I even tried filling the paint tray right up so the water was touching the perspex. I have two external flashes with gels, a paint tray and my home made water drop setup. I don't know where I'm going wrong because I can't see to get my shots like this. I don't know if the container he uses comes into play but it's a white onehe uses, I'm using a black paint tray. Also he uses more of a white bit of perspex that is glossy. The perspex I bought is more of a frosted type that's textured, do you think that will make a difference?
He has a video tutorial that I tried to match, At around 11:32 in the video he first gets a shot like I got all night last night, where you can tell the difference between the perspex and the water, but because I don't speak Austrian I can't understand what he changed to get the next few shots after which is the effect I'm after.
If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. I'm going round in circles trying to get this shot and not getting any further.
Cheers.
