OY! Catching up on comments and coming to this portfolio is such a wonderful trip! Showoff! LOL just kidding. I love what you are attempting in the side challenge and how well you are pulling these off too. This is a great unique pattern to have chosen and it works very very well.
Oooh I like this technique too. Lovely shot.
How far is the glass from the object you want refracted. Are those drops h2o only or is it 50-50 glycerin and h2o? Which liquid works better? Sorry for blasting you with these questions. You're just experimenting... i forgot. :|
This is my first try, but here's the set up that I used this time... I borrowed a pane of glass from a small picture frame, cleaned it and treated it with Rain-X to help form the droplets. Then I suspended the pane about 8-10 inches above the picture. My first attempt to make the drops failed miserably as I tried just using a medicine dropper. The dropper could only make big drops, so I actually used the corner of a twist-tie dipped in water to make the small drops (only used h2o). From there is was just a matter of framing it and I chose a slight angle as I wanted the drops to gradually go oof.
