Outstanding Capture!

I have started playing around with water drop reflection photography. The first one I ever did took 3 hours to set up. What an exercise in frustration! The droplets kept falling off. Then after refining my technique and learning a thing or two, it has become much easier and faster.

Pure glycerine is very inexpensive and can be bought at any CVS store. It is used mostly as a skin softener, and is usually in the hand lotion aisle. Walgreens probably carries it too. One 6-oz. bottle will last a very long time. I think I paid $2.39 for a 6-oz. bottle at CVS. I don't know whether there is more than one type of glycerine. If it says "pure glycerine" on the bottle, it's the real deal, and is as concentrated as you are going to find, as far as I know. As for your last question, I have used it on cut flowers/stems that I was going to discard afterwards. So I don't know if it will damage growing plants. It is not caustic in any way.

I really thank you for you detailed response. At this point I think I've only got one more question before I try this stuff. My question is: Do you dilute it or use it full strength?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cybermomm, Well there is a book. I have no idea if it's any good or not. It's called simply Photographing Waterdrops by Harold Davis. I've had it on my Wish List at Amazon.com for months. Your efforts will probably inspire me to finally take the plunge, buy the book and see where it takes me.

I really, really appreciate your responding to my question.

Continued success.

Full strength, right out of the bottle.
