Cool stuff Aynia. I was beginning to think I was the only one that photographed stuff other than bugs ;)

Rather experimental! I followed a link in another section of this forum and came across the idea you could take photos of drops of oil and water on a cd!

However since I didn't really know what to do... I decided oil and water might be a bit boring so I did oil and a bit of redwine.

Also with the cd I started by trying washing up bubbles. They were totally useless but I think there are reminents of the bubbles in the mad eye.

I used off camera flash (i have one photo where you can see the cord reflected) and tried all different angles. Some caught the colours and others were quite plain. (Don't ask which position got which effect!). I'll probably try it again as it was fun.

Tiny little white cat hairs on the cd came out as white/light blemishes. :D
