Macro course week #2
More playing with liquids and food colouring this week. This one was a bit hit-and-miss.
The set up was a camera on a tripod with a Speedlite flash set on “multi” or “strobe” setting. Camera was ISO 100, 125th second, and f/16. Shutter was set to continuous shoot. My camera only manages 3 frames per second, and doesn’t have a very big buffer before it has to write to the memory card.
The liquid was milk with food colouring in it. Drips were allowed to fall by turning a tap on some glass equipment that looked liked it came out of a school’s chemistry lab.
I took nearly 300 photos but still not satisfied with the results.
Later on a played around with a studio light and softbox to take some pictures of shells. I’ll try and get a bit more arty next week.
