Water works

So, some of the first cool shots i got were with water.

Inspired by the members of DPS I decided to have a go and see how i went on. This was really my first crack at manual settings.

After a few blank screens I got some focus and a decent picture. After about 175 snaps I saved about 3 that I liked. This one was the best...

I then went on to do some fruit...

I made a Yorkshire Rose... (for all you Lancastrians Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire!) for those who dont know we won the war of the roses! :P

Then the latest was with a Bud cap... which is cool as I got to drink the beer!

Just pre-focus on a ruler roughly where you will be dripping the water, switch to manual so it doesn't throw the AF and snap away, i used F/8 50mm 1/50.

Try it you might just be suprised at how professional they look.

If your really daring get the water in clear pyrex bowls sat on patterned wrapping paper.
