Day 25 - Molten!


This is a homage to the volcano now erupting in Iceland.  One of our guides from our trip last year has been posting the most awesome night images of the molten lava , so I decided to give those colors a try!   This is a 2-valve shot.  One dropped the milky white liquid, the other dropped a clear red liquid.  The first drop, the white, fell into the basin which originally had clear yellow water, until many failed splashes of both the red and white drops created a milky orange liquid.  As the white drop fell into the basin and rebounded, it brought the original yellow color back up with it, through the orange top layer.  Capturing the splash a bit earlier would have allowed the column to remain intact (yellow on bottom, white on top), but the red splash with attached bucket didn't show up as nicely.  So it was a trade off!   So many options!

  1. Goodness, you are having so much fun playing with the various colors and liquids. This is quite a bit different color wise than your norm. Nice variation :)

  2. This certainly brings lava to mind with the deep orange and reds against all the black. As usual, something incredible and fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us.

    I would love a link to your guides pictures to check them out.

  3. And I was thinking you coloured it orange on purpose as it's a good one for lava. The red cloak also somewhat reminds me of a manta.

  4. Beautiful colors in this. The middle splash almost looks like an other water surface, very cool!
