lm2k: is it just me or are the focal lengths too long? did you zoom into the drops or have you used a macro mode?

Want to learn his trade secret ..... I hardly ever get that good a drop or a bokeh

using super macro mode on camreas like sx1xx is possible only at wide angle(28 to 50mm -35mm eq) and this would have added unwanted details in the background.
i used something like this or the RAYNOX 250 is best alternative.
the lens adds up smo0th bokeh and ability to use "any" telefauto lens as macro.Hope it answers your question.

Cool.... first time I've come across someone actually using a lens adapter on a point and shoot. The photos are really good

doesn't that require a reverse mounting adapter or something? Can you please explain this step by step or link to a good tutorial of this?

@amlan yes it needs a 250Rs reverse mount adapter and without an aperture ring its just useless...if u reverse the kit lens you may have to manually pull the aperture liver...all this may damage the automatic aperture control on the lens.
I have specifically bought my 50mm 1.8 AF lens for this purpose and used it 6 months for macros...it was a cheap combo...cost me just 3500

So what is the next project out here? My suggestion is that since the monsoons have already hit we can try some outdoor project this time. Cloudscapes is the only one that I can think of, suggest some more people.

Let's keep one topic, otherwise people like me will start posting the whole gamut of Monsoon pics here
Dancing in the rain seems like a good idea +1 from my side. Or clouds HDR (I just finished clicking those )
Enjoying the monsoon

Just one tip that I got from a photography video, If you are trying to take pics of rain falling and want those typical streaks caused by drops then use a shutter speed of 1/160. It's like a magic number of sorts.

Tell me about it. It rained every afternoon so I finally took my camera to work - and got blue skies.
