From Wiki - "A ferrofluid (portmanteau of ferromagnetic and fluid) is a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. Ferrofluid was invented in 1963 by NASA's Steve Papell as a liquid rocket fuel that could be drawn toward a pump inlet in a weightless environment by applying a magnetic field." Pretty cool to play with a magnet around!

I had to get some of this substance after seeing Linden Gledhill's amazing work with it. This is a start, a small amount poured into an upturned metal bottle cap with a neodymium magnet underneath. So far, the trickiest thing is lighting and exposing correctly given the high reflectivity and blackness.

Macro shot of ferrofluid on glass with a magnet below the glass. I added a drop of degreaser to the middle and this oil slick maze was the result. 100mm macro with 3 kenko extension tubes added. This is about a quarter inch across.

In this photo, the magnet is so far below the bottom of the Petri dish that it barely affects the ferrofluid in the dish. Only seven spikes are visible, as opposed to the dozens in photo #2 and hundreds in photo #1.
Reflections of skylight (pale blue) and room light (pale orange) off the inside wall of the Petri dish are visible toward the top right. Those colors are also visible in each of the spikes.
Ferrofluid - this amazing magnetic liquid has some very unique and interesting properties, so it makes for some amazing abstract macro photography. Check out our latest shoot with this stuff over on YouTube >>> youtu.be/URXw1pg90Io
Invented by NASA to help control the flow of rocket fuel in zero gravity the fluid reacts to the presence of a magnetic field. You'll be forgiven if you've never heard of 'ferrohydrodynamics' before, but even if you don't have a PHD, you can make use of this amazing material.
We introduced a strong magnet to a small sample of ferrofluid. The black, messy, oily substance rises out of the petri dish in amazing spikes. Getting the right lighting on these patterns can make for some magnificent abstract photo opportunities.
We used the coloured LEDs of the Adaptalux Studio to create highlights and reflections in the undulating pool of living liquid...with some amazing results! Check out the video for a walkthrough and some videography, or head to the blog post to read more and see the final stills!

Ferrofluid - a magnetic liquid developed by NASA and sitting on top of a magnet following the lines of the magnetic field.
One of series of reflections on ferrofluid. My aim is to use ferrofluid to reflect light in ways never seen before.
The new wonder lab at the science museum includes magnetic liquiid also known as ferrofluid, when you move the magnets the liquid moves. The shapes in forms are really interesting.

Ferrofluid
Having a play and showing my eldest (who's 25) how this stuff works, so gave him control of the magnets.
Best I managed tonight, struggled with focus and too much light reflection. It was getting late so it'll have to do for today.
Maybe a bit more research is in order before I try again.
