Day 36 | Oil and Water

This was a fun one to do so I thought I'll share how I did it for whoever wants to try do it too.

What you need:

• Glass Bowl
• Water
• Cooking Oil
• Tripod
• Macro lens on manual focus
• Speedlight / table lamp
• Coloured paper or any colourful flat surface
• Two items to raise the bowl

How to do it:

1. Place your coloured paper/magazine/ anything with colors on a flat surface.
2. Using two items (I use my salt and pepper shakers), raise the bowl about 100mm above the coloured paper/ surface.
3. Set up your camera on a tripod. 
4. My settings (but feel free to experiment yourself): Macro lens on manual mode, f/5 , 1/60 / ISO 100. 
5. Use your table lamp or speedlight to light the paper below the bowl. 
6. Get someone (thank you Christiaan!) to slowly drop in a tiny bit of oil, really slowly. Once the oil has settled, manually focus and start snapping!
