January 2016, Week 4: Izak van Heerden – Font of Progress
Photo by: Izak van Heerden
Camera: Canon 7D
Focal Length: 100mm
ISO: 400
F/stop: F14
Shutter: 1/320 sec
Izak’s Description: Shot was done with a keyboard and a pencil in a light tent. Shutter had to be fast enough to catch the droplet as it was perfectly formed before it fell. The drops formed too quick so I increased the viscosity by adding glycerin. On the Canon 100mm lens I had to make the aperture really small otherwise parts of the pencil would be out of focus.
January 2016, Week 3: Vibrant Aqua Eye

Camera: Canon Powershot SX30

ISO: 200
F/stop: F2.7
Shutter: 1/30 sec

January 2016, Week 2: DragonFly in Flight by Nigel
Photo by: Nigel
Camera: Canon EOS 40D, EF300mm f/4L IS USM +1.4x Lens
Focal Length: 420mm
ISO: 320
F/stop: F5.6
Shutter: 1/1000 sec
Notes: Nigel managed the very difficult task of catching a dragonfly in flight. His shutter speed of 1/1000 was enough to show a slight blur on the wings, thereby giving the impression of motion. His telescopic 300 mm zoom lens with extender gave him the reach to catch the dragonfly from a distance.
