Dotty spotty!

Water droplet fun today!

One disassembled photo-frame (for the glass), some shiny spotty wrapping paper, a mug of water and a dropper thingy. Oh yes and my trusty torch!

Things I have learnt:
1) take enough care to get the drops round
2) windows let light in and make reflections...grrr
3) you will always need longer than you think to get it perfect
4) it will never be perfect!

@huvesaker haha I've just been in a camera shop and the chap that served me was full of questions "what model" "what lens" "do you use PS or LR?" I sounded like I had never picked up a camera in my life, couldn't remember the number of my camera or anything!! And he finished up by saying "oh so you're not actually a photographer then?" Bl**dy cheek!!

[Nita]

Wonderful, a fav for me.

Dots! Colourful dots! I love them.... this is so beautiful, Nicola. Well chosen paper and I think you did a great job. The window reflections add to it, I think! Like a catchlight in the eyes.

[Gail]

@huvesaker I also thought they were Easter Eggs at first. :)

[Paul King]

Yes I found all those things to be true love this montage amazing droplet sequence : that's one less on bucket list :-)

@paul2782 Thank you, but I have to revisit, I wasn't happy with the shape of the drops, I wanted the round not egg shaped! Need more time!!
