When I came home yesterday, it was raining and the sun was still shining. The only thing missing was ice and I'd have water in all three states: ice for solid, rain for liquid and clouds for gas.
I ran, took the camera out, got ice from the freezer, and...
I'm usually not the one to complain about nice weather, but couldn't rain continue for just a few more minutes? Mother nature won't stop me like that. I got the hose out, and Tyler, my neighbor, was recruited to play a nature's sprinkler.
Of course, nature had more cards up her sleeve, and hid the sun behind clouds (remember - the gas state?). Fortunately, my sleeves were not empty either (or backpack in this case), so I took out my flash, stuck it into a zip-lock bag, and placed it strategically to add more light to the subject.
My son Filip was charged with the ice throwing act, and we all played our parts:
1. Tyler turns the water and aims it.
2. I prefocus and aim the camera, so I get clouds and dark trees to show my liquid and solid states better.
3. Filip throws the bucket of ice aiming at the space above the flash.
4. I wait until ice is almost in the position and shoot.
5. Repeat everything until my helpers are fed up (~ 3.5 minutes).

Вода може да буде у гасовитом стању (на пример облак), течном стању (као киша) и у чврстом стању (лед). Фотографија са сва три стања се може направити на више начина. Један је да се иде на Аљаску и сними ледени брег по облачном дану. Други је да се убаци коцка леда у врело кувано вино. Трећи је да се сачека да сунце сија док пада киша, баци лед из фрижидера у ваздух и слика пре него што се промени неки од параметара.
