Members have been posting some interesting images of water droplets and swirls of dye in our cluster group so lets make that this inspiration for our challenge this week.
Some options
Water Droplets
Maybe you would like to experiment with water droplet photography. Will provided a stunning image that he took some time ago
Pauline posted this gorgeous image in our cluster group:
Here is a tutorial that might help you achieve the effect (although Will uses some gizmo that makes it easier to time the drops): https://photofocus.com/the-artists-notebook/have-downtime-try-out-water-droplet-photography
Drops of food dye in milk
Felicity posted in our Cluster group a beautiful image produced by drops of food colouring in milk.
Maybe you might like to give something like that a go.
What you need:
- Milk
- Soap
- dish
- food colouring
- cotton bue (q tip)
- plate
Just place some drops of food coloring as shown in the video over the milk (regular whole milk works best) and dip the q tip into some dish soap. Place the q tip with the drop of soap directly onto the food coloring and watch the colorful fireworks!
Other drops of water
Or maybe you’d like to photograph raindrops on plants, dripping from a tap, drooling from a llama’s mouth or running down glass.
Here’s one from Brian in our Cluster group:
This topic is wide open!
How to upload your image
You have until next Tuesday to upload your image to Cluster. Members have all been sent an invitation to join and most have done so already. If you have any trouble feel free to email Esther. We also encourage you to leave encouraging comments for other members.
We’d love your suggestions/requests for future challenges. Please leave them as a comment under the challenge notification in Cluster or Facebook.
We will also post this competition on our “Friends of BCC” Facebook group so our friends can still participate by sharing their images on Facebook.
