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 😉
