hmm, I know someone who got inspired by some photographs in another website beginning by dpchall...
But I think you executed this one perfectly, much better than the others I saw using the same technique. In yours the DOF is perfect, and I like the effect in the drop with this background.
You bet Christo ( the original )! I was inspired. The first time I saw a photo using this technique was in a magazine. It was a photo contest winner and was an entire American flag. I had forgotten about the image until I saw it again recently on another forum. Is a very fun and easy shot to make, and not having seen one on this website, I thought I would give it a shot.
Oh yeah!. I love this one, Paul. Lots to look at and you pulled it off extremely well. I'm guessing that these are water drops on a sheet of glass with a picture of stars below it?
However you did it, you did it well. 2 thumbs up.
Adam, I mentioned it in my thread were I posted a test image but will mention it again to prevent this thread from turning into a how you did it thread. Very simple... Glass sheet ( from photo frame ) drops of water. Suspend the glass above your subject ( I used glass blocks which I happened to have ) and shoot away. I used my 100mm macro and my tripod with a lateral arm. The remote shutter release was very handy.
Very nice technique on this, Paul. I like the consistently well rounded drops.
Awesome detail, this probably looks incredible under a black light. Mike
As a BIG 2001 fan you have my attention! As always you come through with an excellent shot. Sorry I was late in replying - I've been closing down my classroom for the summer and buried deep in school stuff! I love the color and design - thanks for the explanation - the Melor photo classroom continues!
Thanks Paul!
Joe
