*bump*
Here are a couple of recent ones that I've gotten...
Fruit meets water.
An experiment - it was extremely frustrating. It's far from perfect, but it's as close as I'm going to get with it. I just don't have the patience anymore.
A friend of Jonathan Livingston? |

Hey, thanks.
Nikon D70s/Sigma 150mm lens (actually a macro lens)
Photoshopped? Well, they both have been sharpened a bit and any colorcast was taken care of with PS. Also, I did take shadows out of the background of the water one (the pic was taken with a white T-shirt as a background, and it was pretty impossible to keep all of the wrinkles (and hence, shadows) out of it). |

gdimension,
I love experiments with macro lenses and water. How did you set it up? I'm assuming a cable release, tripod and fast shutter on continuous exposure. |

Hey,
Although it was a macro lens, I wasn't using it in macro mode for this shot. I think any telephoto lens would do, though the longer it is, the further away the camera can be from the splashing water. I simply put the glass of water on a white T-shirt (that was draped over something behind it as well) in the sunniest part of my house. I used a 150mm lens / Manual focus (prefocused on where the slice would be) / 1/1000 sec / F8 / ISO 200. The camera was set on a tripod, shutter set to continuous, and my lovely and patient wife was the one dropping the fruit. Then, countless tries until I got a decent picture.
Here is a true macro of a little friend I found last weekend:
Jumping spider - a face only a mother could love. That's the sun in its eyes. |

Thanks for the details ... maybe I'll give something similar a go this weekend if I'm bored!
The spider pic is great ... I've never seen a creepy crawly like that in Korea before. |
