Water Droplets 2nd Take

[Davor]

This time with an Sb-800, still haven't learned the ins and outs of the flash but progress is coming along quite well in my opinion.

C&C always welcomed.

[Davor]

Thank you for the kind comments, yes i did use the Tamron 90mm f2.8 for these.

And to be honest, i don't even drink coffee, but i still go to timmies for other things

All I really did was take my camera and put it on macro setting, (it's a canon power shot s3 Is) keep it still and try and take pics when the drop landed in the water... haha.

I have a feeling you might say that I'm doing everthing wrong.

you should be using a flash to freeze the droplet, and you need tons of patience to get the timing right. Without a flash it will come out blurry if its inside.

You can always google how to make a homemade defuser for your pop up flash and stick that on there and you'll get descent results with it, obviously with a off camera flash it comes out much better.

Thanks for the info!

I tried it, and it is indeed very frustrating. >

Since my camera doesn't ahve a good manual focus it was especially challenging! I had to use auto focus. To get it to focus on the droplet, I had to put my finger where the drop was going to be, remove my finger, and then take the shot when the water dropped. lol.

I only got a few shots that were clear, and the background sucks but I am pleased I got it in action!

Thanks again for showing these awesome pics and telling me hao.
