Rainbow to the Stars

It is a little star dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.

~ Henry David Thoreau

I love to dream about flying, rainbows and fantasy travels!

This picture is inspired by @kimmiesue . I started following her because of that picture, so it's a tribute to hers.
I think this is my copycat picture ;-)

Bedankt voor de tip. Gelukkig is de harde schijf niet stuk ( het moederbord ), er is een manier om ze terug te krijgen , onze zoon gaat dat dit weeekend proberen. Ik ben een grote fan van Uw foto`s, Altijd bijzonder en mooi.

Lovely and colorful!

[quinty]

Gorgeous!

[Geertje K.]

@marytj Very simple, you make some tiny drops on a sheet of glass or plastic, place it a few inches above a nice background, in this case a colourful tray, and focus on the drops. Macro setting or lens is handy.

[Susanne]

Oh wow, this is very cool! : )

[Tara]

Amazing!

[Laurie Higgins]

This is a spectacular theme shot! Thank you for explaining how you did it.

[Nadine]

Absolutely wonderful, Geertje! I tried it with some flowers here:

[Angie]

Way cool

[Geertje K.]

@deens Yours looks amazing! I was already thinking about all the things I could put underneath it...

[Nadine]

@geertje A tip if you do try this again... glycerine makes much plumper drops so the refraction curve is exaggerated a bit.

[Geertje K.]

@deens Thank you, I'll keep that in mind!

[Judith]

Wow, deze is erg mooi Geertje! Bijna driedimensionaal.

[Maria]

Great shot!! Super creative! Congrats on the PP!!

[Rebecca Doyle]

Well done on the top 20!!!! whooo hooooo :D

[Geertje K.]

@kimmiesue I'm so glad you like it this much, thanks lot! and i really wanted you to see it, because otherwise it felt like stealing, dunno why.
I hope you're settled now and everything can go back to normal. But I know from experience how long that can be after moving...

[Geertje K.]

@canberrabec Yes, I'm over the moon! And you are in the top 10!!! So deserved!

[petra]

gefeliciteerd met de top 20! (alweer! ;) )

[Shanne]

Can I be really cheeky and ask if I can use this one - to show students what is possible with drops and macro? I'll say it's yours

[Amy Mitchell]

OMG this is an absolute beauty! of course its a FAV!
