Emulsional Times

While we were in Arizona, a friend and I spent some time photographing whole milk with food dye mixed in it. The photo club that I belong to, Poly Photo club in San Diego. put on a workshop recently that included a presentation by one of our members about how to create emulsion art using whole milk, food coloring and dish washing detergent. I loved seeing the results by our members, and decided to try it. Here's a link to a website that shows exactly how to do it:

Lighting stuff: I used a bare YN560-III, in manual mode, to put some light to to the emulsion. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I've also posted a picture of the setup that I used, because sometimes people find that to be helpful. Check the first comment down below to see the setup.

 

More photographs of colorful emulsions (although created differently) are in my pretentiously titled Emulsion Art album.

I've created an album with psychedelic content that can be seen here if you like this sort of thing. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets
