STOP IT! Now you're making me want to try this. Great work, love the last one the best!

the CD craze is spreading more and more haha...

the last one is awesome!!! i really like how some of the water is white and some is green :thumbsup:

again...EXCELLENT! we'll soon be seeing cd's as props in photoshops across the world!

Thanks again. Now, who was going to start that thread in the themes section?...

The third is my favourite to, although the second isn't without it's charm.
The reason for the white and green water is the flash. You can tell it was fired by the hotspots on each water drop.

I just want to find a way to get enough light to use the 1/2000 speed on the shutter. These were as fast as I could go today.

Wow. Awesome. I wish I had a good flash for my SLR so I could try that. Although, maybe I could do it with my point-and-shoot digital. Hmmm. Do you think if I used a 1/1000 shutter speed (max on my camera) it would be possible to capture a shot like this? Or does it need to be even faster (with a flash and/or faster shutter)? I'd love to try it.

Looks like you are really getting to grips with your new toy. Great work ferny!

flash with 1/1000th would be great to do this kinda thing!

word maybe i will try my 1/8000

 

[Unimaxium]

But what about without a flash? Would 1/1000 be fast enough? I know that flashes can be a lot faster than shutters, which can create an effect like having a really fast shutter (especially if the scene is dark when without the flash). So to get something like that first shot, where the bead of water is captured in mid-air, 1/1000 would really be enough?

Have a look at the exif data I posted. The shutter was set to 1/160 and the flash was on. The flash is just a normal flash as well.
Here's what the camera looks like.
