No prob

yea, most of the pics were taken using F2.8 and max 12x zoom if i can recall correctly. I use alot of super makro too

the 1st pic........... water feezeeing.......... em............ how u captured it... timing ? any special effect ?

taken during night time.

sit from a far corner, 12x full optical zoom

open the tap, let the water drip consistently, and aim,

i snapped about 5shots to get that.

no special effect coz im noob in PS

With tripod?

I think the shutter speed is kinda fast.. So i think tripod is not necessary.. Not sure.. Just some noob guess..

handheld, snapped while sitting on a chair

yeap,

Shutter Speed 1/500
Aperture F3.5

it'll look blur if i put low shutter speed

Yea I tried to take water droplets before too.. But not from a tap.. It was from a tilted sports bottle..

Anyways.. Here's mine today.. After some serious motivation by vikingw2k

Can't find anything to shoot..

I found out these are the best models..


But mine are kinda old, at least 9-10 yrs old.. So they are a lil dusty and they prone to have "Osteoporosis". They can't stand still like last time anymore...






and I found this guy sitting happily in my sister's room..

Critics are accepted to improve my shots..

where?
i don't see any water droplets

nice lego collection you have

I have one for sale. Interested?

I'm intrested. Come and offer me..

nice pics man.........but taken at f2.4?? if i can remember correctly, if you zoom in, the aperture can't stay at f2.4 wide open for so long, it probably goes to f3 or something rite?

which pic are you referring to?

Definitely not mine.. Its not a collection, its my toys back in the days.. Hahaha.. The droplets picture were not as nice as yours la..


Here it is.. I think the theme of the picture won't go well if the water dripped halfway..

Anyways here mine today.. After college, lepak at 1u alone, and this is what I got.. There were some Pesta Bunga or something going on..


These were only 1 small part of it...


Roses...


And more roses..


I like this shot..


I think the last two shots are my best shot...

Any mistakes did I make and should correct them?

the water droplet pic
it seemed like u focused on the bottle instead of the droplet...

btw nice roses

Hahaha.. I'm a real noob.. The water droplet pic was taken on the same day as i bought the cam... Hahahha..

I didn't know you can focus properly with the subject so close to you without macro/super macro. Will try it out later Tired of getting those rain droplets on my lens =/

i want to sell my s3is .. 2 and half months .. rm1450 (nego) .. look in garage sale for details or pm me .. ..

hi, i'm new with S3 IS ^^
vikingw2k, does your cam using external lense to captures these pictures ? Cause I don't know how to blur background like u ?

nope, i din use any extra item. just the S3 IS itself

to get blur effect

1. Use Super Makro (make sure the background is far from the object)
2. Use 12x Optical Zoom, use makro mode, aperture F3.5 iinm

vikingw2k, nice shots you got there especially the first one.
When you taking that photo, are you using continuous shots mode?
