Thanks Joseph, it?s really not that hard at all. I?ve been playing around for about a year now. My camera is only a cheap one but had all the manual settings which are useful. Both photos were taken with macro mode. The first I just help the camera quite low to the ground and it made the ripples seem larger.

Try putting macro mode on your camera and take a photo of an object holding the camera about 10-15cm away (maybe even closer if your camera can focus) you will be amazed at all the detail it can pick up, make sure the flash is off, if the room isn?t well lit use a desklamp to light the object.

That?s pretty much how I did the second photo.

calidude.. may I suggest upgrading your digital camera to a better quality one, and also purchasing a tripod?

I don't know if I should take offense to that or not. Being that I hardly get any income as it is, I was lucky to get this camera at all. I have $0.00 right now so I can't afford anything until I get a job... :no: Only then (and only after I pay off my credit card debts) can I even think about such things...

Sjokkel, how the hell did u get such a perfect picture?!  Do u know what shutter speed that pic was taken at?

I placed a white paper between the tab and the sink. Keep the water running. Then slowly close the tab until the stream of water is not flowing perfectly anymore. At that point you have many water drops close to eachother. You won't be able to see it with the naked eye but if you flash at it you'll see them for a fraction of a second . Shutter was 1/1000 th, but i've done this at 1/250 th since it's the flash that freezes the picture. The nikon 4500 had a great macro shot, so this was pretty easy. I have some more of these shots.

I was in Boise, ID last week and had a great time taking pics. This is a pond, now in Veterans State Park & on a greenbelt. When I was a kid growing up there, this area was totally undeveloped and was one of my favorite swimming holes! They now keep it clean and stocked with fish. Its great the area is preserved.

Wow, nice camera for a first one huh? Jeeze my first one was a Jamcam. It was roughly 0.7mp... not even 1megapixel! Then I upgraded to 3.2, now currently at 5.1.

Happy photography learning, it's fun.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
