Interesting background is easy to make &#8211; just rip an advertising page out of some magazine (such as Cosmopolitan) &#8211; and you are done.  Drops fall fast, so shutter priority mode is preferrable.  I shot in Manual (1\/200, f\/5.6, ISO 100), since Rebel&#8217;s metering system was confused about what I wanted to do and overexposed everything way too much.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing which I didn&#8217;t have with me was a tripod.  Tripod is needed to prefocus camera, since it does a louzy job of finding focus points in the pool of water and some magazine page at the bottom.  It always tried to focus on the magazine page.  I&#8217;ll leave tripod for the next time.<\/p>\n<p>Album location: <a href=\"\/photos\/2004\/2004-10-31_POTD\">\/photos\/2004\/2004-10-31_POTD<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Today I tried to photograph a perfect drop of water.
