    thats amazing, i’m new to the photography world and have seen alot of images with crazy colours in the drops. i assumed a filter was added in photoshop. didnt realise all someone needs is a homemade print and to bounce a flash off the card.

    Maybe just a sewing needle will do the trick (I’m not positive because i’ve never tried this before).

    The statement about what setting to use for your flash is completely incorrect. In order to clearly stop the motion of water you need to use the shortest flash duration as possible. That would mean that with a a camera flash you would need to use the lowest setting possible in order to actually speed up or shorten the amount of time that the flash is actually illuminated. The shutter speed is irrelevant.

    @diddly206 : isn’t the 50d mode dial silver? looks more like a 40d to me.

  19. FrobblOo on February 24, 2010 at 1:51 pm

    did you use the flash now or not?

  20. dmehul12 on February 24, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    Pretty impresive. Nice to learn some new techniques. Thank You Sir

  21. gibsonsrock369 on February 24, 2010 at 2:53 pm

    thats what i thought but i dont think the 50d has viewer to the right of the flash or does it?

  22. diddly206 on February 24, 2010 at 3:35 pm

    looks like the 50D

  23. iemand1991 on February 24, 2010 at 3:58 pm
