Man that is nice. Please explain how you did this :D

Thanks!
Here is a picture I took of the setup I used to take that picture.

I took a piece of glass from a picture frame and sprayed it with RainX so that the water would bead up nicely. I then put a plate of M&M minis under the glass and then set the focus to manual and then focused on the image of the M&Ms in the drops. I used a Canon Rebel XTi with a Canon 100mm Macro lens. Lighting was an Alienbee B800 shooting through a white umbrella.

Strange light: more like autumn than spring...

It looks almost as though the cottage is generating its own light. Is that taken with a digital camera? The colours remind me of photographs captured on film. It's a lovely picture but it doesn't tempt me to live there in the winter!

btw guys how to resize the photos you quote? sorry for this big photo quote

Beautifuly simple...


Beautifully lit (though there's some strange artefacts on the far left)...

Thanks. The camera's digital (Nikon D200, 17-80mm) and the light is natural (but a bit odd).

That has got to be one of the most creative works of photography I've seen, absolutely amazing.

On another note, trip to the park yielded this picture:

Seconded on the M&Ms.

Also the purple oof flowers create a lovely background in that shot.
