This would have actually been number one rainy day project, but you need sun and I hadn't moved it over from the old site until now so ... Thanks again Bev !
Instructions
You need a bright sunny day or bright light to shine
into the bowl. I used a glass baking dish filled about half way
with water and two glasses to stand my bowl up on. Use a variety
of papers (gift wrapping, flyers, gift bags etc.) for under
the bowl/glasses to get different effects.
I tried both canola (lavender photo) and olive oil
(orange/gold photo) for my shots. I found the canola oil more
opaque and clumped together rather quickly. The olive oil seemed
to work better but whichever you use don’t use too much or you’ll end up with
one large glob, just a little is needed.
Gently swirl the oil and as it is slowing/settling focus
in on the globs. These can be done with any lens and manual
setting, I used my 17 -70 mm lens. Keep in mind to try and use a
bowl that doesn’t have a stamp or scratches on the bottom as these will show on
your photo and what you use to support the bowl up will also show.
Be warned these are very addictive once you get the hang of
it!! Enjoy
