I'm new to photography and to come out with a bang I decided to try and do a 365 project starting Christmas day, the day I got my D5000. Maybe I'll make it, maybe I won't. Who knows, but here's my attempt.
I did a shot similar to this a while back but I re-did it for a theme competition. The theme was Tell a Story. Albeit a bad story, I think it tells it pretty well. This image actually got posted on the website but so did 70 other shots. lol
This tiny picture doesn't do it justice. Click on the image and then click the "L" in the lower right corner of the picture. This form of shooting is called high speed photography. It involves firing an external flash off at the exact moment you want to capture an image. All those other Cheerios were failed attempts or didn't come out as good as this one.
