I'm really bored...

I played around with several different flash combinations and angles and decided in the end to just let the reflection from the ring flash become part of the image. Tempted to find some styrofoam and a plastic jug and build a light box...

Water drops on a DVD that I coated with canola oil. Canon Xti + 100mm macro lens + tubes (25 to 37mm -I was playing). MR-14 ring flash set to a 4:1 ratio.
