Just playing in my 99p studio again - am really loving playing around with lighting (and food colouring in this case)
I've wanted to do a marble shot for a while so this sounded like the perfect opportunity. I made a lightbox from an old drawer, put a 150w inspection lamp underneath, a frosted glass shallow dish on top and filled this with the marbles and some water tinted with blue food colouring.
believe it or not despite the almost 3d cgi effect, I barely edited the image and it was all created via the food colouring. Let's hope people believe me and vote accordingly with at least a little recognition for my frugal studio labours.

I love the colors and the texture of the surface that the marbles are resting on. However, I think a larger depth of field would have been necessary for this to be effective. I would have liked to see all of the marbles in equal focus
