I finally have some extra time and money so I've been collecting some great textures. This is one of the first ones, just ink dye drops in a water tank.

Cool shots. Why such a high ISO? They look pretty noisy to me.

The ISO isn't actually all that high, due to the processing I put them through I really pushed pixels and in doing so made some of the noise more pronounced. Though this wasn't accidental I wasn't going for clean and clear

Flip them top for bottom, Crop off the excessive ink dispersion and you have a very compelling question. Is it a sea creature or what. A person could be compelled to examine it for quite some time. Work with these on getting just the right crop and the right angle and you have a big time winner concept I suspect. Then you just have to get a better crop/composition the first time i.e. no need for excessive cropping and thus quality loss.

Like 2-3 alot. First one has some weird haloing.

you could do some cool adstract with them. They are not doing a lot for me and i like this type of shot. The first one is out of focus i believe. two is sharp but just not grabbing me. Potential! three kinda looks like a misfire on a camera looking out of a b-52 in WWII. kinda likeing it.

Very cool. The last one is the best, IMO.

Thanks for the comments, funny to see such a wide split. The first one does have haloing, and I really have no clue why; at full size even zoomed in to 100 I can't find a color shift like that.

It is really tough shooting these things, I need a better way of dispensing the dye reliably because I just keep barely missing the focus. I could just easily increase my aperture to gain a full 1ft of focus but then I couldn't get those neat little out of focus parts :| I'm still working on this stuff, I actually recorded mostly video as that is what I need. Once I get it up on vimeo I'm going to post a link, the video looks insane
