Oil and vinegar tricks

macromeister

The setup

1. A piece of safety glass clamped to my bench hanging over the edge which gives a clear view through to the floor.
2. A pyrex dish on the glass filled with some olive oil and vinegar and twirled about with a pen to agitate it.
3. A studio flash above, triggered wirelessly by the flash gun below, which is illuminating the six pieces (A5 size) of coloured card on the floor.
4. Used a Canon 5DMk2 and Canon 100mmL macro (nice)

You have to admire my cable management...

Very well done! I love the idea/set up you have. I am going to have to try to do some of these myself. Thanks for sharing.

I tried this set-up before but didn't put anything very colourful underneath, which is what really makes the difference. Lighting the card (or whatever you use for the colour) makes a big difference.

Good stuff Rob (and welcome to the forum).

Yup, Winter time is definitely coming and as my garden will no doubt be devoid of anything crawling or flying soon, I'll be looking to do some indoor stuff (and hopefully get out in the field with my wide-angles).
