Golden syrup

Another golden drip. I did this after people had asked about my water drip pictures. With a water drip, the timing is very hard because the water drips so fast. I set this up using a fluid that takes much longer to drip. This is golden syrup or treacle as we call it in the UK. I put some of it in a teaspoon and balanced it on the edge of a tin. Set up the camera and flash (lit from the side) and then tilted the spoon so it started to drip. I was able to take several shots while one drip was forming. You can also se refraction in the drip.
