waterworld -- fish bowl

Back to work after a great holiday season, and instantly engulfed with work drama, and I am struggling to find a clear 'phojo' state of mind....but this is a shot of food colouring dropped into water. I am inspired by some of the incredibly refined 'smoke art' images I have seen, such as by Mehmet Ozgur ( http://mehmet-ozgur.com/index.php?cPath=12). Oh ...now I look back at this shot, it looks like a toddler's finger painting! LOL.... moving right along...lucky it is a new day today & so with this project another photographic opportunity around every single day....

I have found the easiest & most even backlighting is to use my tv with a DVD on pause with a white screen. I inverted the image, then duplicated and mirrored it using layers.
A tutorial is at http://www.photographic.com/issue-10-photo-projects/0311food/.

That's a beauty Lyn. The Ozgur link is mind boggling, but I think I prefer the simplicity of this.
