It's amazing how you get different refractions for different angles and light sources.

Here's one I did back in Dec 2009 with just natural light coming through the window.

Thanks for the tuts. Always well put together.

Playing with water, light & a CD 2.jpg
This is my 1st attempt at this. It didn't really work for me I think this is because I didn't have a filter for the glare. I'm sure I'm not doing something else right as well but I feel that was my biggest problem. The second picture was taken using:-
Aperture f22
Shutter 20secs
ISO 100
Mag light
& a white cloth to diffuse the light as it was very bright (this is why i needed a filter really!)

I agree. I think it was you not having a filter and that maybe the lens wasn't close enough. You can get some really cool photos doing techniques like these, so don't give up!
