Ink Swirls

Posted by on Jun 12, 2013 in Blog, Creative, Photography |

These were shot using a single macro extension tube and an assortment of speedlights.  The “ink” is food coloring that we dripped into a tall round glass of water. A big THANK YOU to Max and Kenna Gurrel for helping me get these exciting shots! It was really neat to see the shapes that the ink formed.  The last shot was actually way over exposed, but I loved the way the blown out shot made the colors look.
