    Hiho,

    It's been a while since I've posted anything here so I thought it's time to share some images again. This is sort of a new area I've been experimenting with. Got lot's of useless photos on my cards but I guess the pieces are slowly starting to come together.

    The first one is a couple months old. The rest is pretty recent stuff.

    Setup:

    Micro-Nikkor 60mm, 1/250 (max sync speed), varying between f20-f30, ISO 100

    External flash with an A4 paper strapped with a rubberband around it to diffuse the light

    Very nice

    Would you mind posting your camera details? (lens,f/stop,ISO and shutter speed)

    I'm amazed you could get such fast speeds with ISO100

    And great idea with the flash, I might try that sometime

    What? He is using an external flash, and when doing so, you always put it at ISO 100 because of the available light coming from the flash...

    Have you actually tried photographing water droplets in mid-air? Even with a lot of available light you need a very quick shutter timer.

    Yes, I know. But that has nothing to do with an ISO, especially when using more than available light.

    DVS you mistaked ISO for shutterspeed

    Not really, faster shutter speed = less light = higher iso or aperture required.

    yes but higher ISO does not control speed like u stated is all. I know you know this, heh. The comment just sounded like ISO controls shutter speed.

    And my point was that the ISO should always be put to 100 when using external flash.
