Non-Newtonian 2

Nothing exciting or above average to see here. Suffice to say that being a big, smelly 43 year old boy I can be found either playing with fire or "goop". Today it was the turn of "goop".
Surprisingly difficult to capture. A thousand apologies for the poor effort.

What is your goop made of?

Oh wow, now that's an awesome b&w photograph.

very cool actually... i think this came out very nicely - even if it isn't quite what you were aiming for... what kind of goop is this?
April 27th, 2014  
I love the curves the goop makes

@d_lopes thank you very much
@gigiflower @northy thank you both - it's just cornflour mixed with water to the consistency of honey. When you apply a sudden force to the "liquid" it actually goes solid, you can even pick it up and make it into a ball if you keep the pressure constant, but as soon as you remove the pressure it returns to a liquid state. Apparently the same can be done with custard, but that would be a waste...

@annied I think it's a "goop loop" ;)
April 27th, 2014  
oh yes... i've made that stuff before... the kids were quite mad for it at the time ;p
April 27th, 2014  
Great photo. Thought it was someone doing some baking.... you have inspired me. I will be doing some baking this afternoon so maybe..........
April 27th, 2014  
@graemestevens I feel I must give it a go in the near future - fun and mess would be therapeutic I think
April 27th, 2014  
You nailed the lighting and exposure! I think it works well - would make a very commercial stock photo. :))
April 27th, 2014  
I like the goop photo!! Quite striking in B&W!
April 27th, 2014  
"Poor effort" lol
Stunning! Insta fav

Very creative for a 43 years old boy.
April 27th, 2014  
Amazing black and White lighting. I love the contrast.
April 27th, 2014  
Well I like it. Looks like fun my boys would enjoy...
April 27th, 2014  
Such fun!
April 27th, 2014  
Love the b&w. Great capture

@northy it was great fun
@deliad thank you very much
@annied I think at times we need to make a mess!
@ltodd wow, thank you very much :)
@cailts thank you very much
@livvy thank you, and for the fav too :)
@yaorenliu I'm just a big kid...if it's messy or burns, I'll be there!
@lorenaavalos thank you so much
@newbank thanks...I think everyone can enjoy "goop" on some level
@dh it was - I saw some scientists on TV once fill a swimming pool with custard and run across it!
@ceilidh thank you so much, you've made a happy man very old. Or possibly the other way around.
April 27th, 2014  
@graemestevens i am going to try and be messy tomorrow
April 27th, 2014  
@annied well, take photos or I won't believe you ;) I might do the same!
April 27th, 2014  
lol... love the goop... really looks ..goopy
April 27th, 2014  
@sarahview thanks...it was fun to play with, I like a bit of goop every now and then
April 27th, 2014  
Fantastic Graeme instant FAV
April 27th, 2014  
Difficult to capture when you are both the player and the photographer! :)
April 27th, 2014  
Ha ha great capture
April 27th, 2014  
@denisefuller @scolgs thank you both very much
@voiceprintz you're not wrong, never sure of exactly where I should be!
April 27th, 2014  
This is definitely a cool shot of a suitable male activity - exploring the far reaches of liquid dynamics.
April 27th, 2014  
@vignouse thank you very much, it's precipitating down here today, so today's shot may well be another "grey day" activity shot. Sigh.
April 27th, 2014  
LOL! Sounds like the men in my house! They would love it! Great B&W!
April 27th, 2014  
Ooooh - haven't made gloop for ages. Nice shot
April 27th, 2014  
@harbie @rachelwithey Thanks both, nothing like making a mess on a grey day!
