Half and Half - Oil and Water by onewing

Half and Half - Oil and Water

I am trying to catch up on your photos a bit this afternoon. Sorry I am rather absent this week, so much going on here.

I just love how oil and water photos look like tiny planets.

I thought this would be perfect for the half and half theme.

It does look like the Solar system ... well done... must try this sometime..

big fav for this one Babs. I love the colour and the half and half effect

I really like this - it is indeed perfect for half and half. So, how did you do this - is the colour added in processing?
May 11th, 2017  
Excellent. Great idea for the half and half.

Love the shapes and shadows.

@helenhall There are lots of tutorials on YouTube showing you how to do oil and water shots, here is a link to give you a vague idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfGoppLhraI
I personally used a glass casserole dish lid balanced on blocks of wood and coloured paper on the floor below the dish. I put water in the lid and a few drops of sunflower oil. I didn't use olive oil because that tends to be more yellow and thicker, but its just a matter of choice.

very well done, I did think they were little planets:) great colour choice.
