In this video, I show how to photograph water droplets with an ordinary point & shoot camera. All aspects of shooting are covered in this video, from camera settings, to positioning the camera for the best shot. There is a slideshow of photos from this shoot at the end.

I think you will get much more great pics if you arrange a blue LED to be dipped in the water
It will add up some mood to it
Lolz
Maybe the focus lock isn’t working. I’d check the manual to see how to set up focus lock on the G12, but you could also try manual focus or center AF.
Hi, I have a question. I’ve got a Canon Powershot G12 & I followed your directions regarding the settings but when I depress the button it lingers, just trying to focus. It won’t go off! What now?
The main thing to work on is the focus. Once it is locked, don’t move the camera.
Or maybe your lens is dirty 😛
My shots don’t have your clarity- same camera- any ideas or suggestions? Keep up the great work.
You should look up things like light painting or moving photography. There are some really cool natural effects you can get when experimenting with different settings. Try a bunch, if you’re using digital then you have no reason not to.
Great video, thx for share.
As far as I know, you can’t control focus manually during video mode.
Hey QUESTION………… PLEASE anser
I have a canon powershot sx130is
and i like taking videos and pictures
in manual focus though i don’t know…… can i control the manual focus WHILE taking video please tell me can i…. and if i cant is there like a hack for it or lens atachment or somethin like that
i have the exact same camera! 😀 i like taking macro shots as well. thanks for the video!
Low ISO causes a slow shutter speed, resulting in motion blur. If you don’t want your photos to be blurry, you should use a higher ISO. Experiment with it though!
low ISO causes motion blur…wouldn’t that cause any problem ??
With the sx210 you have manual exposure mode. This gives you control over the aperture and shutter speed (and more).
So with a little bit of experimentation, you should get shots with perfect exposure. I think it has manual focusing too, which will be great because when I was shooting these, lots of them were out of focus. Manual focus is better than focus lock.
Read the manual, and good luck!
kool because i am gettin one and i want to try this……..by the way wicked results!
It would be great.
i have a question. would the canon powershot sx210is be better for these type of photos?
