Ok JustJazzie inspired me to try out some water drop photographs ( something I've never attempted). I hope she finds imitation flattering
My usual macro setup is fun, but gives only a 1-1 ratio on a 8mm sensor which is way too small for water drops that I can make. So I decided to try the close focus on my sigma 18-50mm f1.8 and crop the f*** out of it.
I tried a cut up 2 liter first, but the background was crap so I grabbed the first larger water container I had sitting about. My brushed steel 5qt pressure cooker. Here's a picture of my setup.
Here are the results:

Please feel free to comment and critique upon the photos and setup, just please don't critique on the state of my kitchen sink
