(2 years and 220 days ago)I finaly made it..., created by karaflazz
This is my first attempt (ever) to freeze water.I had never try it before
because i thought it would be very difficult (& it is indeed).
I don't care if this entry goes good or bad in this contest...
I would realy,realy appreciate any help/tips from those who know this kind of
photography tho!!!
The background is a piece of my living rooms wallpaper & the settings
are:Iso 100 , f:8.0 , 1/2000 (the highest shutter speed on my camera) with the
use of my cameras flash.Manual focus on a straw that i placed in to the bowl to
gather the water drops.
Thank you in advance.

Dial-up Internet access is a form of Internet access via telephone lines.The
user's computer or router uses an attached modem connected to a telephone line
to dial into an Internet service provider's (ISP) node to establish a
modem-to-modem link, which is then used to route Internet Protocol packets
between the user's equipment and hosts on the Internet.
Thank God...If it wasn't this,we wouldn't have those Hi-speed conections now.
God bless the internet!!!

Wow, excellent shot! I like the reflection in water.
(2 years and 226 days ago)Close to perfect. Lighting seems a bit arbitrary, and so does dof. I think shooting at f/4 or even more open would look better, blurring the background more and by this enhancing the 'felt' sharpness of the drops. In any case, great freezing, the rest is just practicing.
(2 years and 226 days ago)If i set the aperture to f:4 i don't have the speed i need for "freezing" the drops(1/2000).My camera gives me 1/1300 when i set the f value to f:4.Is that enough to freeze the water drops...?About the DOF...i have seen photos where the b/g is COMPLETELY blured & the shape of the background is only visible through the drops.This has to do with the f value i guess....The smallest the f value is i get more blured b/g...?
(2 years and 226 days ago)brilliant, and thanks for the details, I'll have to try it. can you not lower the strength of the flash so you can still use 1/2000 and f4?
(2 years and 226 days ago)Indeed -- the f:stop is aperture
The wider you open (the lower the number) the more the background will blur. However, NO camera I know about syncs flash at 1/2000. Even 1/500 is very rare -- 1/250 or even 1/60 are the most popular sync speeds. Thus I suppose you camera lets you dial in anything but goes to its sync speed if the flash gets engaged. And your camera is broken, when it changes 1/2000 to 1/1000 if you open 
aperture by one stop (f:8 -> f:4). It should rather go to 1/4000 (which you said is impossible, but anyway).
(2 years and 226 days ago)The flash was at -1.5(i lower it to avoid BOH,because of the white b/g).Let my explain to you vibeke whats going on.I set the f value to f:8 (otherwise i don't have 1/2000).When i try to lower the f value to f:4 my camera automatically sets the shutter speed to 1/1300.I try it with this setting & i wasn't pleased with the result.
(2 years and 226 days ago)& an other thing...I used flash.Why there's no shadow from the water drops on the b/g...?My cameras lens was placed about 5 cm from the spot i manualy focus.If i had a d-slr with other lens i could go even closer(because this is the closer i can get with my camera,if i go closer i can't even focus manualy)...?Questions...questions!!!
(2 years and 226 days ago)Well, better you take this discussion over to the forum -- I think a lot of people would like to get some inspiration and it would be easier to attach pictures to show certain effects… But don't reveal your contest id however, so maybe you better wait until this contest finishes.
(2 years and 226 days ago)Very retro.
(2 years and 226 days ago)Amazing, and impressed that this was your first attempt, well done, you should be very proud.
(2 years and 226 days ago)congratulations!well done..now I want to try it too!
(2 years and 224 days ago)wow, nice!
(2 years and 223 days ago)Awesome! Don't know a lot about photography details but I like it!
