    I absolutely love this shot. I shoot primarily landscapes and nature but this makes me want to experiment!

  • micklyn replied

    Lol… I wish I could shoot landscapes… I’m not much good at them at all. ( : Thanks for the comment!

    How did you do this? Beautiful! I love it! :)

  • micklyn replied

    I put the flower in a black bowl with the clear cd case on top and put water on it with a syringe then used my macro lens set with a high aperture and a remote release and a tripod… I focused on the images in the drops. Thanks!

    Beautiful – and intriguing – - the bowl and the CD cover ?? :-)))

  • micklyn replied

    Thank you! I put the flower in a black bowl with the clear cd case on top and put water on it with a syringe then used my macro lens set with a high aperture and a remote release and a tripod… I focused on the images in the drops. (this was all in a recent version of a uk digital photography mag – I just followed their instructions! they used sweets.)

    Awesome!!
    A CD case!! I’ve been wanting to try this and keep saying that I should go and buy a sheet of glass! Did you oil over the case before applying the drops or did the drops just form in that shape?

  • micklyn replied

    Thanks! no, they just formed that shape… the cd case was a little scratched, though, so I selected the drops with the circle selection tool in photoshop (whatever it’s called) and then inverted my selection and used the decrease noise filter – dust and scratches. It worked perfectly to get rid of the distracting scratches ( :

    A wonderful subject for this technique and lovely rich colours. I like the inventiveness of using what comes to hand – a CD case instead of a sheet of glass.

  • micklyn replied

    Ok, I have to admit – I got the idea to use a cd case out of a photography mag – whoever wrote the article was the inventive one! Thanks for your comment! ( :
