Please give up some CC......first time "splash" shots......

I was extremely bored tonight, and with limited resources.......I rigged up a half-arsed splash scene. I was dropping either a penny or a dollar coin into the dish.

Let me cover a few of the obvious......save some of you some typing.

1. This was my first time ever doing this
2. I was using the kit lens
3. I was using the built-in flash
4. I know my sensor is filthy
5. The water/dish wasn't exactly clean
6. I over/under PP some.....expirementing with it basically

Now that we have that out of the way, please give me some CC. I'd also like to know what kind of settings you folks use for this. I know I committed 3-4 ultimate sins already, but I don't have a ton of cash to throw at this hobby at the moment. So.......I am trying to perfect what I have to work with. I do have a 50mm f1.8.......just didn't try it out yet.

FWIW, 30D.....kit lens with a CP.......f5.6, 1/250.....

Taking heed of your own comments.... ...I think you're onto something!
The big splash hole is very interesting, I've never done any splash pics mysef but can imagine that it might look great if you tried again with a bright background or dyed water.... THEN I'd clone out the coin in a few of them

#5 is the winner in my book. wow and I thought my sensor was dirty lol. on a lame side note how does one get it cleaned and how much does it cost?

Those are cool. I would be tempted to clone out the coin in a couple of those. The hole in the water would be interesting without it.

I think these are very interesting.

I've got a few ideas in mind........I just wanted to get a feel for how they'd turn out with cheap glass. I will probably start the ideas next week.

For a dang ol' grease monkey, you're pretty clever! #4 is kickin to me

This is a good first attempt...

These are superb, def. #4 and #5 for me. I might give this technique a try later as its chucking down with rain AGAIN1

OMG im so gonna try this

Pics turned out great.. love it

Very nice.

Very nice clone job.

Any way you could post your set up. These are great shots. #5 is killer.
