I tried to photograph a vortex inside a mixer. C&C welcome.

That's awesome! Could we get a shot of how you achieved this if possible?

 

Thanks vince.

Here is the setup of an early attempt.



The setup this time wasn't that different. For this shot I used the light source from a side and not from the top.

Fill the mixer with water, add some blue food coloring and you are good to go.

Great job man, just needs a little clean-up pp.

 

Nice job.

whats the spec. on the lens you used

 

That's very neat...

 

It's Sigma 18-50, F2.8 EX DC Macro.
It is a good lens but there is some distortion
when used closed to 18mm. Things are good If it is kept away from that focal length.

And the camera is a Fuji S3.
