It is amazing when "OK" questions like this get massive amounts of upvotes but other great questions go unnoticed -

I recently came up with this macro shot and I was curious how to take photos like this where everything is blurred out and extreme macro is in focus. I am assuming there is a lot of post processing involved. If possible, I would be really glad if some can share some expertise on some of the post ...

I keep seeing the term "workflow" in relation to post-processing being used here and on other sites. What does it actually mean though?
To me it sounds like it means you do A, then B, then C every time you edit a photo. But that seems strange: no two edits are alike for me and I do find that I ...
If the water droplet photo was a hugely complex and interesting shot that required special equipment or setup it would be fairly interesting. I personally don't even find the image interesting. The amount of blue and teal is off-putting to me along with the boring background, center composition, etc

@dpollitt - LOL, I didn't vote on that one simply because I thought the answer was blazingly obvious...
@jrista - The problem I have with shots like the first one is that I have a hard time calling that photography when your finger isn't on the trigger. I do drop shots all the time, but I don't use devices that time the drops and fire the camera and flash without a human, for some reason I like to know a human initiated the capture I guess.

@dpollitt A good question, but a dumb one at the same time. Most regulars in PhotoSE know the word and never see a reason to upvote such question, while most newcomers have so many good questions and answers to read that they feel they can't vote everything thus not voting much of anything.
it was the same, when I asked about IQ. You know, everybody who has spent any time reading and writing about photography do not read the letters I and Q when they see those letters together. In their mind they automagically read "image quality" and never think about it.
But for a beginner those letters are what they are, two odd letters put together. What does IQ mean? Having no idea, they google it (as one comment suggested and as what I had already done) and found out about Intelligence Quotient.
And all the oldtimers went to answer to another question, "What is image quality?" because that was how they read the question. But it was not that one. The question was "What does IQ mean?"

I started with computers at the age of 3 on a suitcase computer (think it was a Tandy) that my Dad would bring home from work

I learned a lot about that while working with Wiicafe.com and helping them with reporting on the video game industry. Went to E3 4 or 5 times between 2002 and 2006 as press, which you would think would be awesome, except that what it really means is that you get to try all the really great games that never actually come out
Huxley, Starcraft Ghost, two different Stargate video games are among the cancellations I was the most frustrated by
not many people can say that they lead a video production crew that they trained across the country to film content and interviews for 98 games in 24 hours spread over 3 days
not any more than getting the interviews and getting free admission to E3 (which is standard for press)
