All I need is a teacher like you, to bring out the talent :). Your pics are awesome, I simply visit to check what you posted..:)..Padduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221847919733706647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253160876846383236.post-79519172407059274922010-11-23T14:42:46.343+08:002010-11-23T14:42:46.343+08:00Thanks Paddu, I'm blushing now :)
Water drops...Thanks Paddu, I'm blushing now :)<br /><br />Water drops: (rant)<br />1. Lately my hands are way too full and I missed taking pix, and updating this blog but sometimes, someone commented on my blog and I'm encouraged to update the blog again :)<br />2. You will need to use Shutter Priority, basically asking the camera to select other settings while you control the shutter speed.<br />3. Go for as high a speed as you can, like 1/2000s. Higher ISO will also help, as the camera will require less light therefore can go for higher speed.<br />4. You would have to use manual focus, because the camera cannot focus on the drop of water within the extremely short time span that it drops into the water.<br />5. Lighting as in flash or natural lighting would be extremely important because of the very short time the shutter is open, therefore you would need lots of light.<br />6. You would need to sync between getting the drop to fall and pressing your shutter which is extremely difficult to do manually. Most would have a trial and error or automated flash and trigger when detecting a drop but that would require a complicated setup.<br />7. Based on what is mentioned above, it's too scary for me to attempt, but perhaps you could change my mind :)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Paddu.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823589016100142401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253160876846383236.post-18132911769557314922010-11-23T14:23:12.017+08:002010-11-23T14:23:12.017+08:00Your blog is awesome..full of information..I can l...Your blog is awesome..full of information..I can learn a lot!

I especially like your clarification on the "EZ" mode settings; in essence, it is just cropping, but sometimes it is definitely necessary.<br /><br />Every time I use P-mode, my images suffer greatly from either over exposure or shutter speeds so low to the point where any slight movement comes out as a blur. <br /><br />I think, though, that by using one of these "cropped" EZ settings will focus on a specific area and thus chose an exposure level more adapted to it. Most of my pictures were just of my students at school, so between the flourescent lighting and all the movement kids do during pictures, I didn't get many good shots.
