Lava

Another of the results of my first serious attempt at macro water drop photography. For the color in this one, i simply used a science magazine that had a photo of fire on the cover as my backdrop.

For these drop photos i used a straight-forward setup similar to what a lot of people use for these kinds of shots. My Olympus E-450 with the 35mm macro lens mounted on tripod. In front of it i filled a black plastic form with water and positioned various differently colored magazines behind it as backdrops. I had window light coming from the left and used my flash with a homemade diffuser.
