So I tried playing around with food coloring and water this afternoon… Short answer: I need a larger container, preferably with reasonably flat sides. I won’t go into the long story, even though it was mostly fun…
But I still learned a few things, and there are passages of this particular photograph and a couple of others that I really like, so I suppose it was an all around win.
D7000. Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 Zomb-E Series. ISO100, 1/250th, f/3.5. SB700, with its diffusion panel in place, at 1/32 power, to the left and behind, fired into a small mirror angled into the subject. Mild-to-Medium processing in Aperture.
And much thanks to Christina Lawrie over at G+ for the idea…
