Description
This water drop looked like a crown to me. What does it look like to you?
Artist's Commentary:
I had a blast experimenting with these micro shots. Being someone who loves colour, I planned different shots with different colours. I used assorted papers to provide the colours you see. At the time, I shot this I didn't own enough flashes to illuminate the water the way I would have wanted so I took the production outside in the noon sun and shot away. My daughter is holding a dripping garden hose above a bowl of water while I shoot.
The hardest part for me was getting the depth of field where I wanted it and getting the drop in focus. My eyes aren't that hot so I have a hard time trusting myself to know when something is clear. The trick for me is to take hundreds of shots in a session like this and then discard the vast majority.
Artist's Finishing Recommendations:
FAA's fashionable and luminescent Acrylic Print would be my pick to compliment and enhance the vibrant colours of this piece. There are numerous attractive custom framing/matting options available to suit any decor. I encourage you to experiment by clicking on the finishing icons located above this text to choose your favorite finishing.
