An experiment with waterdrops.

Took a while before I captured this one.

The set-up was very simple:

- salad bowl filled with water
- a flowerpiece with candle as background
- camera mounted on tripod
- no external flashes
- truckload of patience

Very fun to do, and the result is always different. Try it yourself!

Amazing sharpness and splendid compo. The focus is just right. You didn't only post a photo from Belgium, you even included the flag colours in your post!! Awesome.
Great BG

Hello Nathalie!
The experiment with waterdrops is very successful. Nice job. Bravo!
Regards, Boro.

Very nice result. It looks like a crystal sculpture. I just watched your gallery and you inspired me with some nice ideas to use my 105 macro. I have this lens for about 7 months and never used it. I never thought about simple but great set-up like those you're using. Great work!

Excellent Nathalie!!!!
Très belle composition!
Bravo!

Hi Nathalie,
WOW, amazing capture. Really creative idea with the props that went into creating this. You've frozen it perfectly with the semi-fast shutter speed, the clarity is top notch too. Truly impressive work and a great experiment.

TFS,
Scott.

wow, so cooool!
Цветы на заднем плане просто супер :)

This is great! Very well done. I can imagine that it took a lot of attempts. I found a very photogenic drip catching a shaft of sunlight. You can see them here:
