Lonely drop., created by Lodd

final rank: 4 out of 50 (final score: 57.9 %)
for contest: water droplets

I was out hunting (with a macro lens and extensiontubes) in the wild (my
backyard) when i suddenly saw this petal (which i ofcourse had to spray a drop
of water onto)

The image is pretty darn croped to make just ONE drop be in the shot. The
"star" reflection is from the flash.

This is a friend playing his Casio SK-1 Keyboard (a synth with speakers) in the

with but it came out pretty good anyway if you asks me.

Speed, fluff and rearsync., created by Lodd

final rank: 26 out of 81 (final score: 52.8 %)

i realized today that the mode rearsync is pretty fun. it makes a long exposure
and then the flash flashes and the thing that the flash reaches gets sharp.
pretty cool huh?

EXIF:
5 sec
F/20
18mm
etc
etc
