Same as before, but without the food coloring, and color adjustments in post.

I used about half a cup of vegetable oil, and about a fourth of a cup water, with a bit of red food coloring. I placed the water/oil concoction, into a glass pie plate. I then used a clamp light attached to my camera's tripod, to light the concoction, from below, and at a slight angle.

Camera was my trusty 350d, and the lens, was actually two lens's... I reverse mounted my Canon 50mm F1.4 to my Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro.

Once I got the photos into Photoshop, I used the "color balance" tool, to make all the colors as wacky as they are.

Playing around with a couple pictures, in photoshop.

Brush Fire // Sunset // HDR

There was a brush fire today/yesterday, just outside phoenix. Made for a nice sunset.

PSP Art

I was browsing around kuler.adobe.com/ and colourlovers.com, when I decided to take some of the palettes, and turn them into PSP wallpapers. I then taped over the PSP's power indicator light, and used the PSP to make some light-graffiti pictures.

Today I decided to re-think my setup and approach. I ended up using a wire-coat-hanger, mended into the shape of a circle, and a new soap mixture.

Enjoy!
