Ice cream float
Smile on Saturday -- Ice cream
When I was a kid, an ice cream and Orange Crush float was one of my favourite ways to consume ice cream. So when the theme was announced, a float was my first thought. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I thought it would be.
I set up my shot, lighting, tripod etc minus the ice cream, using just a glass with Orange Crush in it. So far so good. I had the glass only about 2/3 full to allow room for the ice cream as I planned to make the float without moving the glass. Though I'd left room, I had not figured in how much the carbonated beverage would foam up when the ice cream was added. It flowed down the outside of the glass and submerged the ice cream. So I had to eat that one and go back to the drawing board.
The lengths I go to for my art! Tonight I am going to try my third float of the day. It will be an adult float as it will feature a splash of blood-orange gin in it. :-)
Disclaimer: No butterflies were harmed in the making of this float.
