About Dan Lightner Photography
This is another in my Dropplet series,I used a piece of glass , some rainX,http://www.hamptonresearch.com/hrproducts/4332.html ,(gives you a much taller bead of water) and a box to make some interesting images.I placed a sun flower in the box.I put the glass on top,and put water dropletts on the glass, then focused on the drops here are the results.I like the colors on this one.

It's a fun, optimistic view of the world. It's not abstract, but more like ana-realism. I like the complementary colors. And in terms of originality, I give it the highest marks. A modern classic for me.

Very cool! Don't know what 'rainX' is...take that back; just looked it up in Google, it's purchased at an automotive store, wax of some sort!! Learn something new every day!

Anyway, back to your photograph, I like it! It's different and very colorful! I like the clarity and colors, looks like window light! (?) Think it might be. But how clever to even THINK UP this one!

Now I must go see your portfolio!!

same efect :-)

Dan, another great shot.. I was looking at another photo site and I swear I seen one almost exactly like this. Do you post on photosig? If not then someone likes your concept/style/technique enough to have a crack at it also. I?m just wondering what a shot like this might look like with something like antifreeze or gasoline... dishwashing detergent etc.... maybe with the periodical chart or the elements behind it. I?d try it myself but I?m too lazy. Anyways, great shot.

Thank you everyone for your comments.To Dan Arthur the box I use about 2 ft. wide 3ft long and 2 ft deep,just a plastic tote. The lighting is from a floresent fixture on top of the box.The glass just a 2ft by 2 ft piece set on top of the box , the light sits beside it.To Rawabi I was using the lens that came with the camera (18mm-55mm)zoom.
