This is the first water drop photo I have ever shot. The magzine I took the idea from suggested an epensive flash cord extension which I don't have so I improvised on that and the back ground. I took many shots to get the drop, and also tried my canon 17-55 before I settled for the Tamron70-300on Macro. ( when I say settled , its the only other lens I have)My Photoshop has stopped working so the background is as shot, without the clean up I would have prefered.
