fire! in water! this must be a trick >:C

What was your set up? Because I can never get splash photos to looks so neat and clear like this! Nice photo!

=BiOzZ Jan 5, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

i used a $5 walmart fish tank and a single nikon SB-600 flash with a diffuser with a white feamboard background and a CPL filter on the camera to eliminate glare

3 things got the clarity
one i used a nikon D7000 ... nikon cameras are known for there clarity
two i used a very low aperture of F22
three i adjusted the clarity in post processing and played with the contrast and levels

that and it took 4 attempts to get it right XD

~youngwhit Jan 10, 2011 Photographer

Ahhhhhhh the CPL is what I was missing perhaps, because I always get nasty glare.

Pfft... as I laugh at your Nikon comment. I'll just pass that off as cute.

Interesting, interesting. I guess I should stop using my 2.8 to do this

Only 4 tries? Wow. Lucky ducky! Very cool, I like the flame idea. Very well thought out shot

=BiOzZ Jan 10, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

using a CPL with a polerized flash (im not sure if your flash is polarized or not) severely reduces glare but a diffuser is a must to still get the overall coverage ... if yours is not getting a polarized flash diffuser (but for around $150 its not in everyone's Bidget)

what?
nikons DX format is 28mm giving only a 1.2x crop and with only 16.2mp the pixel ratio is low giving no room for pixel bleed
in contrast the canon EOS 500d (popular canon) has a 1.6X crop with a sensor of only 14mm with 15mp leaves very small space between pixels and canons processing engine is severely lacked and its noise reduction engine is simply blurring instead of image comparisons ... as my old photography teacher told us "in the world of DSLRs the professionals always use nikon and the salesmen always use canon"

2.8 is a good general lens and can be good for some portrat but for things where clarity and depth always use a low aperture of F22-F48... also using a slow flash speed of 1/32 or 1/64 than pushing ISO to 1600 or 3200 or even 6400 helps capture fast motion like water

i have quite good hand eye coronation XD

~youngwhit Jan 17, 2011 Photographer

That is true, but that's also not true about Nikon vs. Canon. As much as there isn't room for pixel bleed, nikons start to slip faster with lower ISOs so that is a trade off, because my instict is to shoot as low as possible with my camera (100, 200) but on a nikon (especally portraits) it looks awful compared to a Canon. I've spent a lot of time using both, and settled on Canon for myself. My teachers always shot either pentex or olympus (seriously??) so I come from a pretty uh... unbiased? view of cameras hahaha.

Ahhh I see I see. I guess I need to have a little more paitence with it! I get frustrated and give up easy. You must have a steady hand along with the hand eye coordination !

i own a canon 5D MKII and all arround the board from ISO 100 to ISO 32,000 on my D7000 is just as good and on my D300s it burrys the 5D MKII and my D3x ... IDK i dont think there is a camera out there that can touch the ISO 1600 quality at ISO 100 even

no i do portrat photography professionally nikon's real color in there D300s D700 D3 D3s and D3x line is what every portrat photographer uses ... well i have been to cimanars, meetings, gatherings, schools, learning centers and all that fun stuff for portrat photography and not a single one of the professional photographers there used a canon
some of my favorite photos come from the photographer scott chruch (brilliant photographer and really nice guy and holds more daily deviations than any one else on DA) and his cimanars he clearly stresses the need for having the best camera for the job and his camera of choice (nikon D300s) cant be compared when it comes to picture quality and realism to anythign canon has ever produced and yes i do use canons on occasion and yes i always look at canons when a new one hits the market and no i have never really liked what i saw
nikons are for the professionals
canon are simply cheap and make good video but was soon beeten by the D7000 with that

its mostly about knowing the physics of the hole thing ... im not 100% sure actually how i take some of these shots but i dont do it by eye i mostly do it by mental timing from when i hear the object hit the water
