Here is one that I know of

Thanks George, thanks all. It is such fun creating those!

I happened to photograph today's set-up with the Powershot, so for you, George:

Not "just the sink" but in the sink, with the bowl filled to the rim.
The camera was set to f13, 1/200 sec. and I had the Sigma 70-300mm lens on in its macro setting.

Today I tried some at f9, but for some odd reason I could not focus well enough, many were blurred, my vision must have played tricks today, plus f9 may also be too wide. I wanted to create some round drops where the colour switches right in the middle, hence no wrapping paper today, but other, more singularly coloured backgrounds. Alas, it did not work... well, not what I had hoped to achieve.

I would explain how I did it but, my way negates the "best way" part of your question :lmao:

*EDIT*
LaFoto's can be seen here , here , and here
