Macro photography advice with water drop reflection
What are people using to get that close?
This is what I was trying to do:
Michaelmas daisy dewdrop refraction #4 / Brian Valentine
I have no idea how it's done, but would be nice to shoot like that.

Except all the flowers near me are dead.

Sometimes it will stay and sometimes not but eventually you will get it to stick. Also instead of water you could try using glycerine, it is clear but much thicker.
Great idea
