Flower and droplet by orangecrush

Flower and droplet

We do this project to look back on and remember the year. When I look back on mine and I can always tell when work is crazy or when I have time to go out and enjoy myself taking pics! :o) Its so much more challenging to find something around the house and make it interesting!
I picked this flower from my neighbors yard! Shhhh! :o)
If you ever try to do a droplet on a leaf or flower try using saline. It sticks better and stands up better! This flower is pretty small, that's why that droplet looks about the size of olive!
almost looks like a marble!

Gorgeous! I'll try that tip next time! I agree, taking something at home and making the pic interesting is hard. For me too, home shots reflect my lack of time to go out, unfortunately.

May 20th, 2012  
So many people are buying glass domes and here you show we can all use saline droplets for a similar effect, on a smaller scale. Really lovely picture.
