Twinkle Twinkle
For Macro Mondays theme 'Star'.
The key to getting a good star in this type of photo lies in three P's: Patience, Perseverance and Practice. Fortunately I have tried this a few times in the past. This was shot in a darkened room with a black background, a wee bit of light from a window provided just enough light on the calla spathe while I played around with camera settings and a tiny light source to make the star on the water droplet with a lot of trial and error. This was one of those very rare times when my initial idea for an image was actually achieved in the final result - only took me two days!
