Baby Beads
A single fairy with teensy water drops :) I squirted my dandelion seeds with water from a syringe with needle, and some really tiny drops caught on the fallen fairys. I chose this single fairy to focus on, as it was easy to isolate it away from the rest. I simply used my son Levi’s blue cap as the background. The dark bit at the top is a shadow. I used natural lighting….... by the window in my kitchen. Hand held. Nothing fancy done during post processing.
Full view please!

Love it, how did you do this shot? How did you do the background if you don’t mind telling your secret to a new photographer. :)
