Oooh! Your 'way' Jackie is an effective adaptation of what we can do when we want to. Remember...PP has all the ‘real gear' at their fingertips...and they're not living in confinement!
I needed a square fish tank, dedicated speed guns, clamps to hold the tulip and an assistant.
I used a plain vase, bright outdoor sunlight, and my assistant multitasked with engineering ideas, supporting the flower, the backdrop, and pouring water at just the right height to get bubbles and coincide with the shutter!!
@s4sayer and they make it seem sooooooo easy @wendyfrost it had the most beautiful silver when put in the water @randystreat to get bubbles all around the fliwer @365anne awww thank you so much @will_wooderson who???? @shutterbug49 to pretty much get this was my aim, @merrelyn I'll write it below!! @farmreporter I kept it there in my crop @pdulis ta @onewing I rarely follow baking or washing instructions either, there's a JKB button on my machine ( Jackie knows best!) @casablanca thanks @joansmor not if it's your only hobby and you can't go out @wakelys it does look icy! @robz think that was idea behind the shot in the magazine @salza it kept trying to break free @koalagardens I'm happy with it @ludwigsdiana that sheen obscured the red colour!!
Their recipe
Fill fish tank with water, put a jar in it, focus on jar and lock focus.
Drop a coin in bottom to show where to suspend tulip to match focus point
Pour water down the stem
Difficulties
Tulips are very buoyant and float out of focus range constantly!!
Pouring water in right place nigh on impossible, and causes tulip to move- a lot!!
Good fun though and thank you for your lovely words.
Try doing what I am doing. Taking a picture inside using one letter of the alphabet as my inspiration. I started with A. Not all posted here but on my camera club.

@shutterbug49 to pretty much get this was my aim,
@merrelyn I'll write it below!!
@farmreporter I kept it there in my crop
@pdulis ta
@onewing I rarely follow baking or washing instructions either, there's a JKB button on my machine ( Jackie knows best!)
@casablanca thanks
@joansmor not if it's your only hobby and you can't go out
@wakelys it does look icy!
