    90 mm, 3/10 sec, f/8, ISO 100

    Washing liquid, olive oil, water, and yellow ink, in a plastic beaker, shaken but not stirred. Shot from above, lit by the modelling lamps of my Interfit flash heads.

    Very cool. I like the result.

  2. Looks like orange juice…Obviously the lighting is the trick here. Continuous source I gather? Thinking about investing in some lighting soon… Any suggestions?

      Yes continuous light, I did try flash but it didn’t look so good. I have 2 Interfit Stellar 300 watt heads umbrellas and softbox, they are good and also with their modelling lights make for good continuous light but I wish I’d gone for 600 watts, it’s surprising how much light you need. If you have the room then I’d recommend them. I also have Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash and a very cheap ring flash that I use in conjunction with my Interfit’s or on their own.

  3. Wonderfully conceived and executed. I love the multitude of orange hues.

  4. tom

    A world in orange. Love the colors and structures.

  5. Immense colour. That’s a lot of light needed.

  6. Nice. This and the previous one remind me of microbiology courses.

  7. Very cool…wonderful manipulation!

  8. That’s wicked, loving the yellow tone!
