So although I have several more cool images from this lockdown photo shoot these are the last ones I will share, for now at least.
After quite some time practising with positioning, lighting and shutter speeds I was really pleased to get some nice sharp droplets as in my posts from the last few days I went on to add a drop of colour to see what different effects I could achieve.
I said yesterday that I used a mystery substance but there is nothing really mysterious about it, it is Vimto a sweet cordial. I had no idea whether it would work but I am really very happy with the results.
I went on to experiment with food colouring but it didn't work very well, it was perhaps too concentrated and dispersed quickly in the water so I think something thick and sticky like Vimto keeps its integrity longer.
In future I might try with different coloured syrups or even different coloured reservoirs using juices or even milk so watch out. This lockdown period could bring out even more creativity.
