update from Anna: Since so many people were curious, I thought I'd post the answer here - these photos Philippe took are of drops of water on a blank dvd, taken in a light box using three spotlights.
Anna: The girls and I made it to The Works festival today. I've started a set of photos that I'll be adding to as we go back, which I expect we'll do a few times.
While we were there, the girls decided to go into the wading pool and fountain - fully dressed. *L* Our younger daughter rescued this little guy from the water.

Love the macro shots, they're amazing.
Poor caterpillar, I hope he survived his swim!
Thanks for your visit to my blog Brookville Daily Photo this morning. I hope you enjoyed my post today showing the baby rabbit eating the hibiscus flower.
I am now taking a diminishing dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I am pain free. I believe the chemotherapy drug is spelled "Methotrexate" that is used to treat a lot of things from cancer to arthritis and it has side effects that are troubling. So I need to talk to my doctor about it before I take it. Just missing a dose can be a real nightmare.
Anyway, I wanted you to know I stopped-in to repay your visit and comment with mine.
I enjoyed reading your blog post for the macro shots (oil?) and the inch worm rescued from the pool and I thought your photography was excellent.
I just got my first shipment of used books from Strand's bookstore in New York City, yesterday. They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that. Anyway, they got here and I am totally happy with those I chose to read. I had to start out by just choosing a category, like photography, and go from there. I don't know how in the world they can keep track of so many books.

very, very cool macro shots.
Love those colorful drops! Don't know what you did, P., but they're gorgeous.
And A., the little inchworm (?) is so cute.
those macro shots are so full of rainbow, love that!
rescuing little green inchworms is always a good thing too :)
The macro shots are fairly simple, actually.. I took a basic (blank writeable) DVD and put three spotlights on it to get the various lighting effects.. I then put a drop of water on four spots (draw a box around the centre of the DVD and the corners are the drop positions). 90mm Macro, full extension and manual focus (kept full extension and moved in/out with the camera to get best focus). With the three spotlights, I was able to get those shots at 1/160 exposure, so detail was sharp. :)

ooo, I love the rainbow colors on the water drop - very cool shots!
oh, these are so pretty!
Those macros are awesome!
The macros are fascinating. The drops look strangely solid.
