I like the water shots Andy, very interesting and I'm sure hard to capture.

HANDHELD, 70-200 AT 200MM, F2.8, 1/160 ON CAMERA FLASH No post processing....at all..... :D

I got a few images like this by focusing on the splashdown point then watching the drop fall off the gutter and trying to time the shot. Took about 10-12 pics in all...

G'day,
Good timing to get those water drop shots... They're something different and interesting...

Cheers,

Second water drop is the one I really like. Subject matter on the third is great, but then I'm biased :)

The two motorsports shots do look a little flat to my eye though.

My snetiments exactly!!! Those are from my 70-200 filter expiriment day. The lighting was awful to begin with, but the CPL really made everything look lifeless. The shots without are just ugly however. There must be some happy medium for shoting esentially in sunny misty conditions...

thanks

Great water shots Andy - so now we need to see some fire shots :wink:

Getting a water shot just right is as hard as getting lightning - compliments to the photographer

Good water shots, hard to get right, I assume it needs patience and perseverance?
