Drops

aperture f2.8, shutter 1/160
This one was taken with my olympus point and shoot in macro mode. I tried it with the slr but couldn't get a deep enough DOF. Its a detail of a lava drip toy.

Wow!!! How did you take the shot Mark?Mark Follmer November 03, 2004
The shot was taken of one of those lava lamp toys. You turn it over and the oil runs down from top to bottom. I just put the camera in super macro mode then was abe to focus to about an inch away. With the camera in manual focus mode and set to close focus I moved it back and forth till the drops seemed in focus. They were moving though so with the shutter lag it was tough.Paul C.
