Default My First Shots - Water Drops
hi all

ive been interested in photography quite a while and finally got myself a nikon d60 yesterday.
playing around with it in the house and decided to have a go at capturing water drops as they always facinated me.

anyway these three the best ones i managed to get and for my first attempt i think they have come out well.... very surprised at how much detail the d60 kit lens can pick out... very pleased with it







Nikon D60 + kit lens
1/200
F5.6
used on board flash also

Nice shots damn I was thinking of a D60 as my first DSLR then decided on the 450D by canon now the choice is open again if that is the clarity !!

Hello steharg and welcome to the friendliest forum on the web. I know the feeling. When I first got my camera I headed straight for the tap (faucet) lol.. You did a great job, the water drops came out excellent. Nice of you to show us and I look forward to seeing many more.

Jake
