Finally, after ages I have actually managed to get one!

It was someone posting on here that first made me think of trying, thanks whoever you are

I like that

How did you light it?

Really nice pic. Mind posting some details on settings and how you got that really good reddish colour?

[davidd]

The exif is Canon EOS 40D : f/22.0 : 1/200" : 79mm : ISO 100, manual focus. I used the 17-85 kit lens....

The water container was clear, and on some orange/red paper, the room was pretty dark with a flash to the right on about 1/4 power.

I used a straw to drop the water in, from about 3 feet (made a lot of mistakes and had a rather wet table!).

I then used the direct positive filter in lightroom, backed off the black a little and then sharpened a touch....

The rejects are here

Cheers
