Rather than hanging around and submitting posts with my "astronomical" technique,
I would rather show you guys, so that maybe you would post some of your own!
It's interesting, it's EASY, and it's fun! And the possibilities are infinite.
This is NOT a difficult set up. I used a glass bread pan, placed atop two large drinking glasses.
For the background, I placed various colored fabrics, or some pastel papers, and even some flowers
in a pot, underneath the bread pan. Use your imagination and go
hunt around the house for colors!
I filled the pan about 2/3rds full with water and then simply tapped a number of small drops
of cooking oil into the pan.
I shot the images with the SD-14 and the Pentax 100/4 Macro lens.
You could also do it with extension tubes on a normal
lens or possibly even a macro-bellows.
I purposely used a scratched up glass pan, but perhaps they would be better,
or at least different, with a new pan, or even some other type of
glass container to hold the water and oil.
