M&M's - what I used

I wanted to have a go at some water refraction shots, here are the things I used. It was a very simple set up...M&M's in a bowl covered with Glad Wrap, a glass of water, a swizzle stick to get the water on to the plastic & tissues to wipe off the drops that I didn't like.

I'm definitely going to try this, thanks for the inspiration!

I saw the result first, and wondered how you'd done it, but I never thought it would have been this simple :-) Thanks for the tip!

[Donna Erickson]

will definitely be trying this! thanks for giving both the inspiration and the mini tutorial!

@918smippt @miley89 @haagjes @pedsersw I was so surprised by how easy it was. The results of such a simple set up are amazing & I look forward to seeing what you all come up with. I'm looking for something other than M&M's to use now :)

[Miley]

I tried. I failed!

[Sherrill]

@miley89 Try, try, try again :) what went wrong?

[Miley]

I don't know!

[Miley]

Did you use a macro?

[Sherrill]

@miley89 nope...wish I had one though. Just used 18-55 mm zoomed in as close as possible - did I mention I was outside in sunshine too?

[Miley]

Pah. I ought to wait for some sunshine then!

@miley89 sorry I can't send you any either :)
