water droplets

[AD_Capturs]

Sooooo I decided to have a go at doing some water droplets and to my surprise they was harder then I thought.

How do people get some colours on to them?

food colouring and milk etc etc.

If you look up anything on here from ashmash you will see his set up, very simple but VERY effective.

I can't remember where I saw it but the photographer had used a printed a4 sheet of paper with a random colour pattern on in that was reflected in the water.

There was a bit about this in last months WDC. Apparently a common trick is to add glycerine to the water (50/50 mix) this helps the droplets keep their shape, stopping them running together. It's a couple of quid in any chemists.

try saline solution - stuff for contact lenses - keeps shape ALOT better than water
