I am trying to create an image like http://www.flickr.com …s/m4barcelona/6​238542162/ (external link) I've got all the camera equipment I need, but I can't get the water drops to round for the life of me. They just..flatten out. I have a piece of glass suspeneded over the subject. How do I get the drops to *round* ? :confused:

Make sure your glass is clean and spray it down several times with pledge furniture polish and a micro fibre cloth.....same idea with a fresh coat of wax on a car and the water beading up!

Car Wax will also work if you do not have Pledge.
