My First Photo Here - Water

Hi all, as the thread name suggests, I am brand new to this forum.

I've been playing around with flash and 1/1250 shutter speed, taking photos of various things, but one thing that really captured my imagination is water, it looks like floating crystal with a fast shutter speed, and my new A530 (Not the top of the range camera, but it dos the trick) really surprised me with the sharpness of the photos.

I really want to try this, so you used flash you say?

Welcome to the forum! Very clever shot. How'd you do it?

What settings did you use? I have a A550 and I would like to try a shot like this. I'm surprised your camera took this shot so well and clear, perhaps I could do the same. I'm new to cameras so I dont know how to set the camera up right in manual mode.

Okay;
Aperture was 5.6,
Shutter speed was 1/1250,
Flash was set to 1/3 power,
ISO was 80

I was so surprised the flash had so much power at that setting, and I took about 200 shots using 2 AA batteries =O

Some pretty impressive results! Imagination can overcome technology :P

Nice shot dude,

You should try zooming into the droplets to see what image is reflected there!
