Great link. The pics were awesome. Kevin must be one talented photographer. The cigarette pic was the one I liked best, not the "smoking kills" part though.

Nice try, Jonah

I think by giving a time exposure one should be able to capture the action... the lighting would need some brains though...

Well Try Jonah Sahib..!!

Would suggest you to increase the shutter speed of the camera to the highest, if your camera have the option to do so.

Normally the shutter speed of the modern digital Cameras ranges from 30 Secs to 1/8000th of a second. Can be much higher depending upon the advance model.

If one needs to click a STILL image in low light condition than lower shutter speed will do.

But if images are to be taken of sports or fast moving objects like aircraft, the greater shutter speed is needed for blur free images.

Or your camera might be a SPORTS mode. Just use it and I am sure the results will be far better.

Just a humble :D suggestion, nothing else intended..

Happy Shooting.. (with Gun & with your Camera)..

Regards..

Try shooting some images in bright sunlight with a darker background. You could hang a black cloth in the background. Take the meter reading without the black cloth otherwise you could overexpose the photo or just dial in exposure compensation -2/3 or -1.

Most of the pro photos you see with frozen droplets are taken with special flash equipment in a studio (camer shutter speed can be 1/30th sec), bullets have been photographed with flash duration - 1/100,000 sec. With water droplets etc you will get good results with 1/6000+ sec . I did use a broncolor A4 pulso pack with flash duration I think of 1/6400 sec with good results.

What is also very effective is to use a camera flash in manual mode at the minimum power (this give minimum flash duration).

all the best jonah
