Thanks, man. Yeah, I had to use manual focus on them all, the lens doesn't have autofocus.
I really like that last one, man. The colours are great!

I thought so, good job focusing on the bird in flight. I would of missed it for sure. I'm just now getting used to manual focus myself. Mostly just, because my macro lens is manual focus only(when in macro mode).
Thanks, I almost made it B&W, but really liked how the colors make it pop.

Nah it isn't hard, just time consuming. e.g. For a 10min exposure there will also be 10mins of processing in camera, so that's a total of 20mins for one photo. I'm not sure but I think if you turn long exposure NR off, it want take so long to process. Also better have a remote, or shutter release, unless you wanna hold the shutter button, and be really still
BTW I love that second one.
Some from today. Curious on how to do it read this http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000066

awesome shots guys! love the photos by the beach, Danny. I wish I lived somewhere nice. I live in the city and there isn't anything worth photographing from where I'm from. Every nice place is a 2-3 hour drive away.
just took this with my mobile phone (Nokia 6760) while driving.

Tried shooting water drops today. It was a lot harder then I would of thought. Getting focus was almost impossible, and I like to think I'm pretty decent with manual focus, as that is what I use for 90% of my photos. Anyways it didn't go as a planed, out of 700+ photos, I got 1 good one, and 2 ok ones. I was hoping for at least a really good one, but not enough light(to slow of shutter speed) plus trouble focusing made it impossible.
Heres what I got.

It isn't the easiest type of shooting, but you're quite close.
What I really like about those shots is the color, you have that down pat.
I found if you use some item before hand to focus that it helps a LOT.

I been playing with food coloring a lot lately, amazing what you can do with that stuff
I was using the dropper as a focusing point. As you know though when your that close to something there is a very small margin of what is in focus. I little off on the spot, and you miss it. I'm defiantly going to try again tomorrow though. I'm hoping to get somebody to help me, that way I can stay behind the camera, and adjust focus as I need to. Also I was using too wide an aperture on those(so not much is in focus to start with), at around f5-5.6, but it was either that or a slower shutter speed.
Thanks for the advice, you gave me a good idea of putting something stationary. That way I will have something to aim for, and will have a general area of focus. Great photo BTW, good timing on that one.
