This is amazing, so much more interesting than many of the other water shots on DPC. How did you do it?

OY! Catching up on comments and coming to this portfolio is such a wonderful trip! Showoff! LOL just kidding. I love what you are attempting in the side challenge and how well you are pulling these off too. This is a great unique pattern to have chosen and it works very very well.

How far is the glass from the object you want refracted. Are those drops h2o only or is it 50-50 glycerin and h2o? Which liquid works better? Sorry for blasting you with these questions. You're just experimenting... i forgot. :|


This is my first try, but here's the set up that I used this time... I borrowed a pane of glass from a small picture frame, cleaned it and treated it with Rain-X to help form the droplets. Then I suspended the pane about 8-10 inches above the picture. My first attempt to make the drops failed miserably as I tried just using a medicine dropper. The dropper could only make big drops, so I actually used the corner of a twist-tie dipped in water to make the small drops (only used h2o). From there is was just a matter of framing it and I chose a slight angle as I wanted the drops to gradually go oof.

Again, very cool. I'm looking for a sheet of glass around the house so I can do this too, but alas, no luck.

That pic is awesome.
