Thanks, I had been thinking about it for ages before Sidd posted up, Just had to get motivated...

I did it hella ghetto stylez.. But like Sidd said, after having a crack at it and knowing what you need to improve the next time is good..

I just got like a shitty baking dish, this is where I went bung, it was a white one. Filled it up pretty high with water then got a glad sealable bag and filled it up with water and got some pegs and clipped it to a cupboard handle. Then I put a flash on a big can of milo and angled it a brown piece of cardboard (only thing I had lying around) behind the back dish. Then put camera on tripod with 100mm macro lens and manual and auto focused for some shots and tried hand holding it aswell. I shot some in AWB and Tungsten to get the blue effect...

Hmm, thats about it...

When i get home i'll post up my samples of splash photography, you have all got me motivated to do it again haha.

Sidd - Sweet photo, i'm guessing extremely low shutter speed because of the motion blur? Flash seems like it was on camera or really close because of the harsh shadows behind and hard light. I think it works with this pic!

Great photos people!

[Lepperfish]

Few more splashes...

HDR of the above

Cheers man. I was glad I had a go at it, I'm more then happy with the results. Stoked actually. The 100mm macro is a sick lens, and cheapish as well for what you get... I have kenko extension tubes as well but I don't think I need to get closer. I'm prob gunna have another sesh later if I'm not to intoxicated. If I get any good ones i'll post em up..
