Day 251 of 365


Day 251 of 365, originally uploaded by Rob Weiher.

Same basic setup as yesterday but this time filled the plastic cups with water and there is a sheet of clear plexiglas between the light and the bottom of the cups. Wanted to have water in them to help make the cups appear more solid and to help with reflections and the plexiglass is there to make a stable flat surface.

The black light may come in handy on occasion but there a few issues. It tends to create hot spots because I only have it an inch or so below the cups. The other thing is just how many things can I photograph with a blueish glow :)

I really like these glowng blue cups. Sounds like you had fun figuring out and constructing the set-up to get the shot too- well done!

An interesting result from your exploration with the black light.
