That sure is interesting... how did you make this picture?

**eaglem** · 03-13-2013, 11:50 PM

I set up my portable lightbox and place some black cloth at the bottom on which I placed a picture cut from a magazine ( I was being generally lazy) on top of the cloth. On the top of the lightbox I place a CD Case cover to which I applied some drops of water using an eyedropper.. Once this was done I put the camera on a tripod and set it to "BULB" so I could use my remote. By aiming at the image of the picture seen through the drops I got this result.

Very creative, hope it the player has done their home work.

Very elaborate technique, gives a great result.

Thanks for the detail "how to do it", cos I was way off base, I'm struggling to shoot through car wheels trims.

Wow - is that ever clever, EM - and terrific result. I've always said you're one smart dude

Ah well now that you know it is probably worth a try.
