First attempt at water drop photography. Considering the homemade setup I'm very happy with how everything came out. I'll probably get an eye dropper for next time. For these shots I just used a hole punched in a plastic food bag. Some of the colors are from backgrounds behind the water tray, some are adjustments made in WB in LR5.

Click on images for link to full set. IQ from 500px isn't what I'm hoping for but anyway, that's another topic.

Thanks!

It was a broiler tray that I used for the water drops, I used some colored folders up against the tray for the color reflections. Yes, I used a tripod and my single off-camera flash proped on a cookie jar on my kitchen counter.
