I had a quick check online to see what some people were coming up with from there I then decided to do a search to see just how simple a set up I needed. Then came the fun part getting the items I needed.
Thankfully a quick trip to my local Tesco's provided most of my items:
- Wine Glasses
- 5 bottles of food dye (red, blue, green, yellow, black)
I had tried to find a water dropper but after a hunt in three shops I gave up and decided to just try my luck with pouring the dye into the glass.
When I got home I set up my camera on the tripod, set up my remote flash on another tripod to the side, set the wine glass on a small table and also used two blank white canvases to give me a white background.
The rest was a huge trial and became very messy, very quickly. Food dye was everywhere as was water from countless refilling and cleaning the wine glasses.
I did learn that a few dyes react differently in water blue lingers around the most, while green bursts and fades very quick, red is thick and sinks to the bottom very quickly any yellow bursts in a nice cloud.
There was very little editing done to the end product if anything I only touched the exposure and cropped the photos in a little or rotated. I have to say I am happy with how some of them turned out. You can see for yourself below and more can be seen at my facebook page
