Oh yea, I see a winner here!!! Well done. :) #6291261Irene Colling August 09, 2008
Waterdrop photos are fun and easy to do.Place drops of water on a sheet of glass. Put item under glass and take the photo.
I place table lamps on level with the glass. Overhead lights will reflect as distracting spots on the image.
I think that for most of my creations I use ISO 100, Av-18, Tv-80. #6291349

To blur the background you'll want the glass to be about 12 inches above your subject. Try various arrangements. #6291359Karen Celella August 09, 2008
