The Bored Photographer Chronicles...

[tirediron]

In a continuing effort to stave off boredom... today's effort involved the sacrifice of a gallon of water and tablespoon of cooking oil...

Nice pics. If you're really bored just look at my pictures and tell me how much they suck.

I like this one!

Thanks, Derrel - I'm thinking I may actually print that one, probably on a metallic foil.

Great idea but number one for me.....

Still my favorite as well.

And I thought I was out of the box

Who says you're not?

1 is really cool, reminds me of the solar system

Thanks; has a very sci-fi / space-y feeling for me as well.

And.............. another one:

Very nice. It almost looks microscopic and I'm waiting for some virus to photo-bomb it with a big smile.

I see a new job in your future, sci fi effects.

LOL - has to pay better than photography!

If a thing is worth doing, it's worth overdoing... right?

And for anyone curious, here's the set-up

Camera with 105 AF-D Macro lens and 78mm of extension tube (100mm would have been nicer, but I couldn't find my other set... ), remote shutter release and flash trigger. The "specimen jar" is last night's black bean salsa jar. The glass cube on 4x4s allows me to set the flash directly underneath and light from below if I choose (the angle of the light makes a huge difference in the appearance of the drops). The jar is sitting on several sheets of yellow OHP plastic, and the red water is a drop off food colouring. Typical settings were ISO 200, 1/200, f16, and flash at 1/32.
