Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Oil and water
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
And for this weeks entry I am doing something a bit different, no sunrise or sunset and not even a walk other than down the stairs to the basement where I have a little area setup to do indoor photos.
I was getting a bit frustrated with the cold weather and not being able to get out for photo walks so I decided to try and be a bit creative at home.
lets start with a photo and then I will explain how I did it

Now you may have guessed from the title this is a photo of some oil in water, but it is a little more than that, I also added a little dish washing liquid to the water.
Ok the setup for taking these photos was a plastic container, with water some olive oil and a splash of dish washing liquid,, I used some pill bottles to elevate the container, and had the crushed up and flattened tin foil underneath, and for the background for these shots, skittles as you can see,
I did this setup both on the table, and in the lightbox trying different angles and setting for the shots,
Now I am not totally happy with these shots, the first one is probably my favorite, I maybe should have used my flashes in this setup, but at the time I decided to do this I realized my rechargeable batteries were all flat, I have bene charging them up as I have another project I want to try down in the basement where I for sure will need to use flash for, and maybe I will try the il and water again with some other setups and using the flash

Another shot I am fairly happy with, but I think after looking at these as I edited them and looking at the settings I used I have some ideas of how to do better next time

The skittles under the container give some nice color to the background
