I'm still unsure about what lense to upgrade too and found myself not making the most of what I could do with the kit lense, so I thought I'd try a few things. First was freezing time as I can't do long exposures that well (no tripod)

The image is 100% crop then resized (hope I've said that right!)

C&C welcomed as I'm trying to soak up as much info as I can :)

Firstly, nice pun. Water is just water in that photo, its well taken for sure...but its just water.

Have you seen those little minipods you can get from 'photographic retail outlets' that are a about £5...will probably really help if you are close to the water.

It does for me on things anyway.

I know its just water, what made you think I thought it wasnt?

I've seen a minipod for about £7 that looks quite sturdy, so I'll pick one up tomorrow and have a play :)

Any other C&C? noob trying to learn the ropes here :)

I think you have done an excellent job with that! The splash is nice a crisp and in focus. However, there isn't a lot of contrast between the splash and the background so it looks a little flat, especially on the right side. I am however looking at this on a laptop in low power mode so I could be wrong.

I'll take a look on my main PC later. GJ all the same :D

Thanks :)

I agree it lacks contrast. A grey washing up bowl, stainless steel sink and clear water add up to a pretty flat picture. You should see the one I took just before of the water in the bathroom sink as theres not definition between them!

I'm going to try some different media with the water to see what effects I can get.
