This is a photo stack of 20 images to create this much depth in a macro photo. Each shot with a slightly different focus point. The camera is locked down and then it is slid forward by tiny, controlled movements of macro focus slider. The copper wire sculpture is all of about 2 inches tall. The flower in the background is only about 3 to 4 inches away from the wire structure with is sitting in a bucket of water to help finish the scene.
Its hard to set this all up and everything is very small movements and if you accidentally kick a tripod leg of a light stand, everything gets changed in a big way. It can be very frustrating to work like this, but this is the result when it all comes together.
Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens and a 25mm Canon FD extension tube.
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.
These water drop splash images are always super unique. Each droplet of water is always different and special.
But this little exercise was a bit different. I really needed to nail the focus on these because the refraction of the flower inside the water splashes needed to be pretty sharply in focus. The spot where the droplets hits is fairly predictable and constant, but what happens after the drops start hitting the water and each other is anyone's guess!
Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens and a fully manual water drop system, as well as a manual flash trigger to stop the motion.
Would you eat it's fruit?
More explorations into tiny things with water droplets on them.

She held her tiny bottle high into the night sky every evening in the month of August. The warm breezes blew wisps of hair across her face as she closed her eyes and waited for dust from the wishing stars to slowly drift downward into the small glass vessel. No one believed it was stardust she captured in the magic bottle night after night. She smiled as she sealed the vial with a kiss. She knew the truth.
I love to scour Etsy for beautiful pieces like this from Marilyn Healey. It's a bottle of glitter to be used for crafting, but I've left it sealed with its waxed vintage paper cork. Some may consider it a prettily packaged craft supply, but I think it's a tiny work of art.

This tiny slice of time and motion gets frozen for us to have a closer look at what's happening when a drop of water (well, milky, colorful, water) falls and splashes into a body of water. Many of my frames have nothing but a flat surface of water or a single bubble in the in them, but every once in a while, I get lucky and something Fun happens!
I love all the streaks of the two different liquids mixing and turning inside the rebound column.

Capturing this moment was pretty special I think. It shows us the energy in the explosion of the first droplet popping back up and then being impacted by a send, larger drop to create this wild goblet sort-of thing that I captured in this one fleeting moment.
I use a combo of a long exposure and a quick bust of light from a Speedlite positions just off to the right front corner of the frame.
Each one of these images is absolutely different as I am manually releasing the milky, colored, water and triggering the flash. I love to look closely at the interactions of the water from the reservoir and the milky water combine and make the streaks in the splash.
A lot of times I just miss the splash and many of my shots have nothing in them, but every once in a while, I get lucky and something special happens!
One thing I did learn in all of this splashing about, check your lens. I had to digitally clean up the dark blobs of the water that splashed and got onto my lens. LOL!

Not entirely sure what I captured in this single frame image, but I had just finished using my super fine mist water sprayer to apply more small droplets to this coiled piece of copper wire. But I believe its the trails and streaks of tiny air bubbles mixing in with the larger drop of water. And shooting at such a slow shutter speed, I captured that movement of water inside the drop.
When looking this close at these tiny drops of water, you see things that you normally wouldn't ever notice. Small bits of dust inside the drops race around to find their positively or negatively charged spots that they are attracted to in this tiny little world inside this single drop of water. Its super cool to actually see. Close to impossible to capture in a single image.
I think I got lucky here!

A big kiss.
