That's very impressive.
Your camera gets pretty close on it's own I see.
6 mm is close for your camera model.

I hope to see more in this area from you.

Thank you so much!
I know, I was pretty surprised myself considering it's an older model.
Works like a charm though!

I will definitely keep focusing in this area for sure =]

Nice effect!

I've tried and my droplet just flattened out like a puddle glitter didn't even get on the puddle, spilt it all over the floor

Thanks!

For my first attempt it turned out pretty well, though I find I had the same difficulty as you.
So I tried putting the glitter down first and then adding water, seemed to work!

I gave up after a couple of attempts, I think I'll practice my droplet skills first, Thanks for tip, I'll try that next time I've spoken to a few photographers and apparently waxy and plastic surfaces work well along with waterproof fabric to hold a droplet form.

No prob!
Hmm, really? I'll have to give that a try next time. I used the lid from an old sour cream container

I tried on orchid petals (they're fairly waxy) then I tried a plate and a plastic coated board, I think patience will be key for me

Good luck!

It takes soooo much patience I found!
took me a few times to get this drop the way I wanted.

Thank you!
