Orbiting Mirror Balls
These are water drops from the irrigation system trapped in spider webs that are in the succulent plants near our front door. They sparkle like jewels in the light, so I decided to exploit them. I placed a 36mm extension tube on my Nikon 70-200 f/4 lens so that I could close focus on the drops.
I lit this with one YN560 in an 8.6 inch soft box, hand held at camera left. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I have an album of drops and bubbles images called, creatively enough, Drops/Bubbles that has different kind of drops and bubble pictures in it, if you like that sort of thing. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157625432239555/
