I know it is out of focus. But damn it is hard to catch! How do I get the Af manual on one spot?

Nice. i wanna try do that water droplet one. Hmm i think the best thing to do would be to focus on somthing the same distance, then switch to manual focus and take 3.5fps then uve got a good chance of getting it.

how do u get the corners of the first one to be dark mate?

I think my lens do it!
It was at 18mm.

Yeah, I did at you said but it turned out this way. :S

hmm weird, what if you use a smaller aperture then u might have more chance of getting it in focus?

and then maybe blur the backround out using software if you still want that effect


well i dunno!!

but i wanna try it
it sure looks difficult though

I used the lowest aperture possible.

I will try make it custom tonight.

so use a higher aperture like f/18, then use a slower shutterspeed. it should be easyer to get the droplet in focus then

Yeah. But then the drop will be very long and crappy. I tried that today. xD
But I will post some photos later on.

it shouldnt be if you dont go below 1/500

k good stuff

I will try that later.

OMG! Are you guys trying to make me feel extremely bad about my skills in photography or something? I mean I went to bed for 3 hours and all of the sudden woke up thanks to my stupid neighbors and got on here and found all those amazing pictures . The water drop picture is just amazing. hahaha How many pictures did you take to actually capture it in the air? Don't tell me you managed to capture it at the first try.
