53weeks 048 of 371 : Shaft

This is a continuous stream of water into the tank. I like how it looks like glass.

53weeks 047 of 371 : Electric Collision

A collision between a the up splash and the next drop. Main light is from the back which catches the water in the air and then with a top fill.

This reminds me of the recent meteor crash in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia.

53weeks 045 of 371 : Red on Blue

I switched to red dye for Valentine's Day, but of the variety of gels used tonight I liked this blue dominant version.

53Week 045 of 371 : Luminescent

The shower effect was created by a burst of fluid from the syringe. Blue food colouring and a blue gel'd speedlite.

53weeks 044 of 371 : Liquid Fire

A few changes from yesterday's set-up. I switched to shooting through the end of the tank instead of the side which give much more room for fall off. I replaced the reflector with a black towel and the light is a single overhead speedlite with a red gel.

53weeks 043 of 371 : Blue and Green

A day late posting because of a hard drive probem - some days I really hate computers. Still working on restoring my main system.

This weeks theme is going for focus on drops - specifically things droping into a tank of liquid. I picked up a 40 gallon acquarium through freecycle for the job. Anybody want an acquarium - it will be available next week!

This setup is shooting through the side of the tank with speedlites freezing the action. One above providing some fill and one below the water line (on the outside) with a blue gel. The water drops were dyed yellow with food colour and so combined with the blue light, it make the up spash green. The textture in the background is my 5-in-1 reflector.
