Water droplet refraction photography is all about careful lighting and careful alignment.
Every element of the photograph is like a puzzle piece that needs to fit perfectly in exactly
the right place for the image to be made whole. Gooseneck arms can hold anything -
Lumecube lights for illumination and clamps to hold the photographic “ingredients” in place.
The flower in the background needs to be in alignment with the droplets and the foreground
petals, which can be easily done with subtle and accurate shifts.
This macro contraption is flexible and customizable, and any camera with
macro capabilities can get a similar shot. While I generally shoot with fancy
mirrorless cameras and expensive lenses, this image was also intended
to prove a point: the camera is the least important element to the
composition. If you can check off the “macro” box, energy should be
focused on the other elements of the image and how to best sculpt it;
you’re a droplet sculptor first, and a photographer second. So many of
the skills required to get these images to work have little to do with
the camera itself, and more to do with how you stage everything.
Platypod is there to make this entire process easier.

“The
Mad Scientist of Macro Photography”
That’s what they call Don Komarechka. Known for his ability to create
art from the simple elements of nature. Tools from the Platypod Ecosystem
help Don get the images he needs to portray his vision. Although the setup
seems complex, it took Don no more than an hour to assemble and capture this
amazing photograph. Platypod simply made the job easier.

that’s ever been written.
