what we see in a water drop

|
Melbourne's weather is a bit cold throughout the week and I just stay put. Partly I am not very well. To ease my boredom I decided to do a quick water drop shot. Not that good though as I set the ISO to high and I am doing it in a rush. But I get the idea how to do it again next time.

The setup is very simple. You need a tray, white or coloured card, Flash and a plastic bag filled with water and lastly tripod.

Put the tray filled with water, hang the plastic bag filled with water around 3 feet high. Make a small insertion to let the water drip. Position the white board or coloured card at the back of the tray. Position the flash towards the card to bounce the light to the tray. Manually focus the camera.
