Was reading "Light Science and Magic" earlier -- mostly looking at white-on-white techniques. One of the techniques was putting a mirror on a table and then putting a light source in position to completely cover the "family of angles" for the shot. Thus, the background for the image is really the reflected light source. In addition, you get top lighting and a bit of reflected underlighting as well.


Started playing with the idea (this is mirror and large softbox) and then started playing with water and food coloring... These abstracts are the result -- started off as two separate drops of coloring, these are the drops at different stages of "mating." Thought it interesting how the red and green would overlap but not quite mix. I guess one is heavier/denser than the other.
