Nikon.D.200.
New member
First off, I have a Nikon D200, with a 3rd party external flash that I can use off-camera with a flash sync cord.
What lens should I use?
-50mm f/1.4
-18-55mm
-70-300mm
-(I can do the 'reverse lens' macro w/ the 50mm and 70-300, but I think it might be too close, even @70mm)
My main goal is to get stuff like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidparks/4120374464/in/set-72157624210906013/ or this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidparks/4127454500/in/set-72157624210906013/ where it's all just very "clean" lighting.
My first question is, how should I set up the lighting?
-I have that external flash with a sync cord (10ft), with a mini-softbox. so where should I place that?
-I also have a reflective disk w/ silver, white, and gold sides. The 'body' of the reflector can also be used as a diffuser disk. When/where/how should I use this?
My next question is what should I use for water dropping?
-I've tried many things...turkey baster, cups, etc. but I can't get a consistent drop flow.
