Copper Grass Drops
I crafted the "grass" out of strands of 16ga electrical wire. I cut a small length of wire off and pulled the individual strands out. Then I bent them over in half. Once I had enough of them, I used a hot glue gun to keep the strands all together and make a small "plant." I then bent the strands over in a gentle shape. Then it was just a matter of applying the water drops in front of a reflective background and adding light.
Pretty simple, huh?
This is a 23 image photo stack using a new tool in my kit that I got for Christmas. A macro focusing rail or "slider." With it I can make very small adjustments to the focus by moving the entire camera forward ever so slightly. These are very small adjustments with this specialized tool.
Shot using a Canon FD 50mm f3.5 SSC Macro Lens, plus the 1:1 Canon FD 25 U extension tube. Shot at full 1:1 magnification. Each image was shot @ f4.
