Day 28

High Key

Marbles in diluted toilet cleaner! The things we do for our art, eh? I only tried this as Ddallas said she couldn't catch the marble. Just water was too thin, so I dragged out the trusty toilet cleaner and used that to thicken up the water. It was still pretty quick but I love the trails it left through the liquid

I've just realised that this challenge finishes on my birthday! I'll have to think up something special for that shot :D

  1. Wow, a very awesome action shot and the backlighting works extremely well to enhance the movement of the water and the beautiful colour of the 'water'. The black marble looks like some sort of sub-marine missile. Using a test tube was inspired. Well done.

    And I have lost track of dates since this thing started - so your birthday is on day 30? Every year? ;-)

  3. Ahhhh! So you couldn't manage just water either I take it? I saw this in the thread and though 'oh, what a punk!' for accomplishing what I couldn't. Great Job!

  4. Wow, it almost doesn't look like it is going through liquid. Almost like it's going through green jello. The trails you caught have all these odd prickly edges. It's very cool. One more day to go and you finish on your birthday? How awesome!

  6. The trails are very cool, I did not recognize the marble as such. I must make notes of your toiletcleanertrick ;)

  7. Interesting trail, and you caught it before it hit the bottom...and with just one take as usual, I am sure!
