I really like all the scratches and air bubbles that are on and in the marbles. I did however clean up the odd color marbles in both shots. I was pleasantly surprised how saturated the color came out.

These shots don’t look like much until you click on them. There’s some pretty cool things happening in the bubbles.

Here are some shots of food coloring. Some are captured with the dye moving and some are still. These are all straight captures. I did clean up the dust and air bubbles in photoshop. It took me a while to get the hang of getting the dye to move how I wanted and ended up [...]

This is where I ended up after my Paper Cave post from last week. I’m much happy with the result. The color is better and I think these shots are more interesting. They kind of have an emulsion transfer feel to them with the folds in the paper.

Since I don’t shoot film [...]

These are the last shots on white for a while. I had a lot of fun working on this series. I highly recommend working on something basic over a short period of time. It clears the mind.

These shots are a continuation of the “Basket” series I did a few weeks back. I like the looseness of these and they have a jellyfish feel to them. The netting came with three cantaloupes. Click to enlarge.
 

I don’t shoot liquor ads nor do I try to pass myself off as someone who does, I do however like shooting glass and bottles. Continuing on the “red” theme I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks I was drawn to the red and green contrast. This bottle belonged to my Father-In-Law and I’m not sure of its [...]

I added another spread to my mini series of old cooking items. These objects were donated to me from three different families. I love the character in all of them and will preserve them for the next generation.
