day 139 - only smarties have the answer (explore 2012_02_11)

Got this idea from an article in last months "photoplus" magazine. Its droplets of water, on a CD
case, resting over a bowl of smarties :)

The magazine didn't state the settings so it was very trial and error. Had this on the floor illuminated with 2 lamps, macro rails and micro adjust tripod head.

After about 30 shots I got a good one. But under the heat of the 2 50w lamps the bowl of smarties melted :P

    This is wonderful and colourful

    I've wanted to try this for ages, thinking I needed somethink like a glass top table ... now I know it can be more simple and a tabletop thing I could give it a try. Thanks for sharing how :)
