This Image was taken 2 days after I purchased my Nikon D-80. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing. It was taken at Sunset Beach NC to the left of the pier about twenty minutes after sunset. The shutter speed was somewhere around 20 to 30 seconds with a nikon 18-135 lens and camera mounted on a tripod. I really surprised myself and it led to my passion for photography.

This shot is from a stream in Sussex County, New Jersey. It was taken with a Canon 10D, f16, .7 sec, ISO 100 using a Canon 17-40 mm lens at 17mm. It was an overcast day, perfect for this technique.

A 2nd moving water entry! I set up for water drop photography today in the gallery and thought that this is a good water movement shot!

Canon 1DMK3, 90mm TS-E with 25mm extension. 3 Canon 580 EX2's at 1/32 power for short pulse width.

Focus in the real macro world as you know is tough..... And this is about 1:1. The Tilt & Shift lens helps a lot but still...

[epayne]

Very nice Mark,

Did you color the water or the light sources?
