"Sun drops"...arvindr

Sorry I couldn't think of a decent title .. but here goes. Shot this over the weekend. The drop is actually clear sap from a log of wood. It smelt of eucallyptus oil. The bulging droplets of sap acted as nice big fish eye lenses as you can see here .. The star burst is an unintended manifestation of the sun!

This delicate setup would sway to every whisper or wind. I framed it with a slight slant to give the impression of motion.

D70, 105mm Macro at nearly 1:1,1/180, F11 ISO 640
