Just splashing around.

JustJazzie · Oct 28, 2014

Another go at capturing splashes today! I ordered some gelatin that I may give a go with next. This round I crinkled some tin foiled and tie dyed it with marker for the base and used scrap book paper as a backdrop. This is mostly just for fun, but C&C is always welcome since I will do this again! As usual, taken with my 18-200 zoom and cropped to bits.

Lol, my son said it looks like a bear. This one is was so cropped that it's barely useable, but I kept it anyways.

#5 first thing I saw was a frog. Nice set!

snowbear · Oct 28, 2014

I'm thinking frog, too, but with a non-frog body - like Kermit.

JustJazzie · Oct 28, 2014

I keep trying to see it, but all I see is a splash. *sigh* maybe if I take my glasses off and stare a while?

#5 is definitely a frog!

I like'um! #5 looks to me, like a Mud Skipper doing the back stroke.

I was thinking Mud Skipper.. But I can also see the frog.. Very Cool splashes... What are you dropping into the water Jazzie?

Heather Koch · Nov 4, 2014

Awesome! I really like #1, looks like a whirl pool-ish

Yeah how and what makes the water so colorful? I mean color dye...but that many, without turning brown?

And as for #5... Whoa that is wicked! Definitely second the kermit thing...Looks like a frog just chilling

Thank you! I'll admit I had to google mud skipper. I'll have to show the Wikipedia page to my first grader tomorrow, he'll love it!

You know those little colored glass stone/bead like things they sell for fish tanks? If you don't I can take a picture of them tomorrow and post it!

Thanks!
You can see a photo of my setup on my flickr page. Basically though, it's a colored bottom tray, with the flash bounced off of multi colored paper. Either my kids artwork, or in this case scrapbook paper.
