Australian photographer Craig Loechel went from blindly experimenting with a water drop kit for the first time to mastering the art of macro liquid photography.

Italian photographer Alberto Ghizzi Panizza has spent the past ten years perfecting his particular brand of macro photography. Specifically, Panizza has nailed down the niche of capturing macro photographs of flowers as refracted in minuscule drops of dew, oftentimes on insects.

Get out your Easy Bake Ovens and your polydimethylsiloxane, it’s time to make some lenses. Okay, okay... so it’s not that easy.

Water drop photographer Corrie White creates pretty neat “time-lapse” videos of water drops …

Photographer Patrick Lindsay shot this beautiful photograph of gumballs seen through water drops. It's similar to the MC Escher water drop photo we shared a while ago, but is much easier to create since the drops of water aren't moving in this photo.
