thanks, have to admit, I really enjoyed doing this. Definitely going to stop by more often.
I should have mentioned that I got my inspiration from the "Matmos" in the movie Barbarerlla (really bad SCI FI- just my type - but with amazing lava lamp colours and effects).

Here are a few more I did today. Used stickers (had to try your idea Athena) and a cd underneath this time and also a very shallow glass plate. Didn't keep the light stationery this time, moved it around to get the different light effects. sooc

This was a fun challenge. It was interesting to see how you can get very different results by changing things up.

I don't have a macro lens, but I do have close up filters that screw to the front of my lens. So I used that. I don't have a flash either, so these are using window light.

Candy cane


I used a bowel and just some wrapping paper as the backdrop.
1/4 sec, f/10, ev 1.3, ISO 200


Tootty fruity


Same set up different paper
4 sec, f/40, ev1.67, ISO 200

Just 2 more.

Ocean Blue


2.5 sec, f/40, ev2.0, ISO 200


Copper Capped


For this one, I used blue paper, then put a red Christmas ball in the center.
1.6 sec, f/29, ev 1.0, ISO 200

Here are my contributions. The first one was some weird fake dirt balls that got bigger in water. Thought the varying colors would be interesting. The second are strawberries. And the third are pears.

Hi,

I haven't been on this site for a few years. I stumbled upon this thread, it sounds like fun.

Here are a couple I did awhile back with oil and water.

These are really beautiful! I love the effects you got.
