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.

Seeing all these water drop shots, i dug up an old one of mine ... i don't know if it has been posted here before... this thread has become so huge that i cant find it  :pinch:

This one was taken with a nikon 4500. Sold it last year.

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.

      Fire and rehire. Doubt the work contracts are as favourable. Smart tactic using AI to do it legally.

      > And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. Sigh.. of course it does. I just don't understand why anyone would want to play this on PC, when the far superior AoE 2/DE exists. Just kill this with fire already. Or a trebuchet.
