not a fan of this kind of photography, but i had to try it once. i think i prefer smoke photography and one day that's what i would really like to make a go with the new camera. this here was spooky. the fruits looked like alien faces with multiple big eyes staring at me.
three days more and it's july. there goes the first half of the year.
thank you for your views and comments; they are much much appreciated.
I love your capture of these fruits ... great bubbles!! I haven't tried this and probably won't. Mine would definitely be comical. I haven't got the knack for indoor shots like you have, summerfield. How are you liking that new camera?!!
@myautofocuslife - does it have green head and purple eyes and mouth and magenta ears? :-D thank you, livia.
@alia_801 - oh, you are so kind, alia. thank you. i'm not happy with it so i may revisit it at some point, maybe when the cold weather comes back (if it ever comes back!).
@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. but i am not happy with it so, as i told alia, i may revisit this shot at some point in the future. (if i'm still into photography :-)) i think the one thing on my bucket list that i may not be able to do and scrap it altogether is water crown. some people just have the patience and the knack for it. also the bird in flight. i'm rethinking that, too.
@karenann - you know, you have so much talent that you haven't recognized in yourself yet. we'll have to work on that :-) i like the new camera, it's frustrating, but when i read the manual i go like "ahhhh!" i'm going to take a short course so i would understand this thing better. i'm a hands on person but someone's got to really explain this thing to me and i think i am now at the age when i can really concentrate and listen and actually learn. thank you, karenann.
@myhrhelper - i got it two mondays ago. i've got some good shots already, but i have to get used to it some more. i think i would start with the csc challenge and a short course next weekend.
this is not the bubbly shot i wanted. i will have to do a bit more experimentation. i have to learn how to relax and be patient. i'm away right now with partner and i just took some shots of a guy waterskating. i got two shots of him airborne but i have a long way to go. tonight, i will try the camera on fireworks. if i get frustrated, the p&s is handy. :-) thank you, kathy.
I think Nikon has some nice program settings. Love to put it on "S" and have a very small shutter speed to catch the frozen action. The other thing I fall back on a lot is leaving it on "A" and just keeping it at 5.6 - 7
When I really get frustrated I just put it on "auto".
Don't be discouraged, you will get the hang of it and you are trying and doing more than many people have for years of owning one. I have so much to learn but I feel I'm making some head way. I love the CSC challenges but I hope that every once in a while whoever hosts one will go back to the basic's too.
I can't wait to see the vacation shots & the guy waterskating. Before I got my Nikon I couldn't dream about getting an airborne shot.
Thats awesome. Great capture. Lighting is great. Love how you composed this, has a great pov. The colors work perfectly together too. Fav for me. I always wanted to do the smoke photography too. Maybe someday I can join you with that. See what we come up with.
@losthorizon - haha! i inverted the photo, the fruits were actually floating but it looks ugly so i changed the pov by posting it upside down. thank you, beau. when you're more relaxed again, we'll do the smoke photography.

How do you like it so far? I have the bubbly shot on my long list of "to do's"
Yours turned out very cool!
