Description Water drop refraction shots are fun but very challenging for me! I haven't really mastered a technique at it yet. I see others photos and they are so clear it's crazy! Maybe everyone has as much trouble as me but they just don't talk about it hahaha.


 Nikon D5500
Macro 85mm lens

Photo has contrast and brightness adjustment and I turned it black and white. The only color in the original photo was the yellowish color from the dandelion seed... I like it this way better

They are hard to get for me as well.  

I think for some they use very large images behind the drop that have clear and sharp contrasted edges which make the image look sharper inside the drop.  Some I notice use very large drops as well.

You're probably right about the images! And I've noticed a lot have larger drops too... But the larger the drop the less round and cute it is but something that I have trouble with is the puff on the seed. You can't see the image in the drop because the little white puffy stuff is in front of it. I can't seem to find flatter seeds, either. So I often pluck the little fluffs in front and back of the seed so you can see the drop and the image. It's so time consuming! and it doesn't look like anyone else does that with theirs! Must be witchcraft

I have heard that if you put glycerin in the water the drops retain their shape even when you 
make them on the largish side. I haven't tried that yet but maybe one day I will find out 
where you buy it from and try.

But.... I thought you used witchcrafty methods to get those seeds to stand at attention... then that would mean 
there are more witchier witchcraftiness out there.... I am at a loss as to what I do now

I can not even imagine plucking teeny tiny puffs from a teeny tiny seed
I don't think I have that kind of patience.

I your efforts 

As for what others look like... I might be the wrong person to ask cause I don't seem to be doing
anything others do most of the time. I try to but get so side tracked most of the time...
