Title: I know what I want - but not how to make it Post by: Martin on September 14, 2014, 06:12:15 PM Hi - hope it's not too cheeky to ask for help in this way but atm I don't have the time or energy to work out how to use new software and make the image myself. I'm a (very) amateur photographer who took up the hobby this year so I'm not in it for financial or personal gain. https://www.flickr.com/photos/martingower/14717730514/ is a photograph I made by printing a fractal on a sheet of A4; placing it about 6cm under a sheet of glass I had cleaned with a hydrophobic compound (to make nice round water drops) and with the appropriate lighting; aperture; shutter speed etc used my macro (close up) lens to take a picture. With a macro lens the depth of field is limited so it was a bit tricky to have the images in the water drops sharp both at the centre and the edges. The image is ok but the sharpness is limited due to the low resolution of the original fractal (I found the image, without any information about author, user rights etc). What I would really like is a high resolution fractal that looks something like this (the back ground, large fractal is deliberately not in focus but you get the idea of the original in the water drops). Failing that I could try and learn how to use Ultra Fractal but I couldn't see any images similar to my picture to give me a starting point.
