Week 9: Oil and Water and other worlds
So I saw this tutorial about photographing oil, soap and water. So with what has become photography time on Sunday afternoon, I got the olive oil out, some dish soap, and my light box and proceeded to create!
This was my absolute favorite shot. I was the fifteenth shot (of twenty one). As soon as I put it up on the computer I knew it would be my favorite. It is one of those shots that in camera it didn't look as awe inspiring to me as it did when I got it big. It looks like another world, exactly the effect I was looking for!
The first shot out of the bunch happened to be good as well:
I really enjoyed this project and I think I will be exploring this type of shot again. The top shot I used a torch (a small flashlight), and the bottom shot was with my lighted light box. Both shots were f/8 ISO 100, which insured the best quality of the image.
In another shot entirely, I took this picture back in October. Last week I was going through my images to clean up my memory card. I found this picture of a Giant Leopard Moth that I had taken in the parking lot. I actually was down on the ground to get the shot. Here it is:
What I didn't notice until last week was in the bottom left. When I first saw it I could not believe my eyes and looked up on the internet to see if I was right, this moth was laying it's eggs right there. Here is a blown up shot:
One of those shots that you don't realize just how special it is! I was pretty excited. This is one of the reasons I love photography, the unexpected! From other world shots with oil and water to moth eggs. Life is good!
Hope everyone had a good week!
Baa
