Photo 365: Day 106 – Rainy day project
We had a spring like weather in St. Louis today with occasional showers. Another reason for me to stay indoors and use my macro lens 😉
I was out of ideas for today’s post and my wife suggested may be I should try with oil/water setup. So spent some time on setting/shooting this and it turned out pretty good. Here is what I did to set this up for the shoot.
- Filled a clear glass with about 1/4 cup oil.
- In another cup filled with cold water and few drops of liquid food color – here is where you could be creative.
- Then started pouring colored water over oil until I got enough bubbles.
- Allowed the mixture to settle down.
- Then carefully looked around the glass for the bubble/bubbles I liked and start shooting in full manual mode
One thing you will need is lot of patience and don’t forget to shoot a lot of pictures. In my case, I thought most weren’t sharp. Out of about 30+ pictures I took this evening I only liked a couple 😉
Excellent picture!.. Hats off..for your creativity & patience; Lot to learn from you.
This is wonderful Sasi. You did an excellent job. I love the bold colors.
Looks like your wife is good for your ideas. =]
Great idea. There are always ideas all around us, but sometimes we just have to look. Way to find an unusual subject!
wow, I really admire your patience and creativity. very effective and I love the colours and the background
