You've probably all seen photos like these but I'm interested to know how people capture the moment that a drop of water (or a ball bearing or similar) hits a coloured pool of water. It creates a 'crown' effect (similar to below). I gather it has to be in a fairly tight macro situation but is...

Okay, boring though it may be, it's the moon again. I used the 500ml lens and thought I'd try Layer stacking. 7 raw images. The first picture is the result. The second picture is one of those images tarted up a bit in PS. Cheers, Brad :)

Moon in layers Thought I'd be adventurous and try shooting the moon for layer stacking. I only took 7 images, raw files. 500ml lens so it was not easy with the moon moving so fast. The D3200. Cheers, Brad :)

I think as long as you're ticking that 'Align Source Layers' box, PS should do okay. Cheers, Brad :)

Scott, if you're using a tripod, try more images. That upload of the red Gerbera had over 30 layers. Cheers, Brad :)

A variegated Marigold and a new dwarf deep red geranium. Dark green leaves and very bold red flowers. Cheers, Brad :)

No clouds this morning so I went out at about 5.30 to have look at the moon through a friend's 500ml lens. It's a noticeable difference from my original 200ml lens. Does it still look upside down sOnIc? ;) Cheers, Brad :)

This another attempt at image stacking. Red Gerbera. Cheers, Brad :) ​

If I change my camera menu settings, am I able to save those settings? Or do I have to Erase Settings and Restore to original settings? Is this a problem? Cheers, Brad :) ​

Hi boys. sOnic's (I wish everyone had names!) tips are extremely useful and I'll keep them here for the next time I go moon walking. It's certainly a fascinating subject. I'm not too far from a dark country road so I might venture out for some stars too. This is the original image, marce. A...

My old Epson Perfection V100 has a slide and negative scanner adapter built in. Slow but okay. Cheers, Brad :)

Raining steadily here but ventured out to take a pic of this tiny white creeper. Blooms are about 1cm across. Flowers like crazy at the start of Spring here. Don't know what it's called but it's nice in the rain. 40mm Nikkor 2.8. Cheers, Brad :)

With the encouragement of people on Nikonites, I've started shooting in RAW. Being somewhat ignorant of the sky and the moon, I decided to take a photo of it yesterday afternoon with the D3200. I even put the camera on AUTO. With a little bit of fiddling with the raw file, I was surprised. This...

At the enormous DigitalWorld show in Melbourne, Australia today, Nikon held the prime location at the main entrance, giving away 'showbags' of info to thousands and thousands of visitors. It really was a fantastic display; completely hands-on with lots of advisors and helpers. They had a theatre...

Hope I haven't posted this before? The centre seedpod of the Lotus Flower. Shot using the 18-55 Nikkor kit lens. Cheers, Brad :)

Hmmm...not sure if this qualifies but I saw this droplet of water (several drops) on an Oriental Lily leaf and was taken in by the simplicity of it all. Cheers, Brad ;)

Windy again today so I went out into the garden yesterday which was a little better. Shot with the Nikkor 18-55 Kit lens. ISO 200, 55mm, 0EV, f9, 1/25. Most of these were similar. Cheers, Brad ;)

More blossom and bees today. This time with the 18-55 Nikkor kit lens. Cheers, Brad :) ​

I'll probably take a few more today. The sun is shining and there's no crazy wind, so perhaps the bees will be out. I managed these yesterday with the Nikkor 40mm f/2.8 DX G AF-S. Cheers, Brad :)

Same orchid in my bathroom. More flowers. Is the background too distracting? I used the AF-s DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G ISO 200 0.3 EV f/9 1/13 Cheers, Brad :) ​
