Photo: It's been ages (it seems) since I last submitted a photograph. Maybe just because I wanted to, but light did not permit it. Today I got tired of waiting and decided to experiment with indoor-flash use instead. I don't have a proper lighting set yet, so I held my camera side ways and used my hand to diffuse the flash a little. None the less, ISO 800 was needed to get the photo I wanted. To prevent the little noise I had, I blurred the background somewhat to make it look clearer.
All in all I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. I'm especially fond of the great contrasting colours and reflections in the drop.
I recommend full view, let me know what you think!
