Squeezo, great shot! What body and lens did you take that with, it's fantastic!

Here's my best effort from the other night, taken with on 5DMark2 with a 70-200 at 200, 100% crop, manual focus on a tripod with a ten second timer, mirror lockup enabled.

I think I need to get a longer lens for this sort of photography!

SQUEEZO · 5 Mar 2010 at 01:20

Thanks Trick. I used my 450d and my recently purchased 'EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS USM'. The full moon and clear sky gave me the perfect opportunity to test the lens out for some moon shots. This was the best of the bunch ( after many failed attempts

). I did crop this by a fair amount though. Used the following settings - 1/30sec @ f11, 400mm, ISO 100, and applied a curves adjustment and a little unsharp mask. You can see a bigger version on my flickr page if you're interested - http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottquee/4396225861/sizes/o/
I keep forgetting to use mirror lock-up with shots like this.. thats another setting i need to drill into my head. One day it will all be second nature - i hope

Squeezo, everytime I see one of your photos with the 100-400mm I have to resist clicking a 'buy now' button for the same lens.... damn you stop tempting me

And now for something completely different - a Larch, no erm a Snowdrop....

One shot, or two? Very cool all the same though.

Thanks! It's one shot.

Mark A · 5 Mar 2010 at 19:43

@martinturner

Awesome shot. What lighting did you use?

martinturner · 5 Mar 2010 at 19:45

Thanks. Backlit with a Yongnuo Speedlight YN465, Yongnuo RF-602 Wireless Trigger and Lumiquest Mini Softbox.

Nice shot! I can barely manage the water drop, let alone the bubble.

Nice, a softbox is something i don't currently have, might try and make one out of paper.

Have you managed to capture any collisions yet?
