Digital Color Reproduction.

You can convert pretty much any black and white photograph to color using this simple photoshop technique. 

Open the black and white image in photoshop. 

Create a new layer.

Change the blending mode to Color.

Take the brush tool and paint the required color on the new layer. 

You could reduce the opacity of the layer a bit to make the colors more natural.

Tips for getting the perfect Splash Photography

-Make sure that you are shooting against a dark backdrop

-Since you will be shooting at a faster shutter-speed make sure that there is enough light to compensate for it.

-If you want a clear glass without the object used to splash the water up, take two exposures (One before the impact and one after it) and create a composite using Photoshop.

Mise-en-Scene

Mise-en-Scene, is everything that goes in front of the camera in that particular scene. Lighting, Costumes, Backgrounds, Foregrounds, Positioning, Props etc. This is really critical while creating interesting miniature/toy photographs. You can see my associate, Param, carefully staging the scene for the shot. The final image was captured using the OnePlus2 mobile camera.

ShutterSpeed: 1/1250 ;
Aperture: 5 and above ; 
ISO: 800 to 1600;
Zoom: 200mm to 300mm;
A full moon night.

Its better to use Manual Focus unless you have a fast lens.
