What a great shot! How did you do that? #1284431

Thanks Mary! Outside in the bright sunshine I filled a Pyrex glass dish with about a half inch of water. Then I elevated the dish about a foot off the ground (using tall, sturdy plastic glasses). I put a colorful shirt on the ground underneath the glass dish. I poured a little bit of olive oil in the dish of water. My camera, with a 60mm macro lens, was directly over the dish and set on f3.2 for shallow depth of field. It was such a fun project. Try it! #8731736
