Thats what I used. D40, 1/500, Flash

I'm still wondering if my Nikon coolpix will work... I'm still trying though!

Another site I go to for photography contests had a contest almost exactly the same as this one. I had tried shooting outside mid-day at a very small waterfall. Terrible idea. Next time i am trying inside.

I love that image, hawkeye!

Thanks. I just set up the tripod at the sink and took countless pictures till I finally got a decent drop.

1/500 sec
200 mm
ISO 200
Flash: Did Fire

Im in Sydney and it poured rain all weekend. So I setup shop outside and took photos of drops hitting a table which had freestanding water on it. I must have taken 300 images and I still did not get one I liked.

Try going in a really dark room and pour water/soda into a cup and taking a picture. While you can't control the shutter speed using only flash to illuminate is somewhat like using a 1/10000 shutter speed (or thereabouts).

What I found out on this Assignment.
My Camera (D40X) will only go to 200 in flash mode.
it is better to use a lighter background

Thanks for the site

Urgh, I know the feeling. I'm so glad the digital age came about. I couldnt imagine trying to do that film

Yeah no kidding, that would be spendy.

excellent shot. I like how it incorporates something else interesting into it. and by the way... nice camera ;-)

 

[Big Bully]

I don't know if this is cheating or not, but so far this is the only way I could get my camera to focus... somewhat
