To do what you see in that pic, you need to learn about the affects of "usable" light, and, learn to shoot in manual. That pic was as it was getting dark, so not much light. That's why the flash was used. ISO was 100, Shutter at 1/30sec, and at f/8. The flash was backed down to only illuminate a short distance. It's really how you see a shot when looking at it. It doesn't have to be dark outside to do it. You just need a way to provide more usable light to the subject, and not the backround. Distance between the subject and backround can help also. This was in daylight. The sun was hitting the buttercup head on, but the backround was somewhat shadowed. Just control the exposure.
You can also do it in a fish tank.
Some others.
You can also use something else to be the backround, such as the sky.
Or you can just use photoshop. But that's cheating!!!!! :lol:

So after your post, I played around in manual (which I had never done before) and I really liked it. The only thing is that I don't quite fully understand is f number, ISO, and stuff. I have a Nikone D300 and figured out how to change those settings really quick on the fly. I can see all the details in the view finder. Is there any good reading or forums that I can check out that will explain that further?

I dont know how I missed this thread but I like the picture, pretty cool.
My only "complaint" and it's minor is I think the shot would be more pleasing to the brain if the tip of the bud closest to the camera was in focus. Kind of like how you always want the dominant eye of a subject in focus.
Anyway, it would be hard to do because then the drop itself would most likely be out of the focus range, maybe this would be a perfect opportunity for focus stacking!

Love that place!! They have some really good info there!!
Yea Recty. I really understand what you mean. It's a problem that you will, (maybe), run into later in life. My eyes aren't what they used to be. It was dark enough that the auto focus wasn't working, and what I saw seemed pretty good in a 3 inch screen. I really was looking more at the drop though!!
