Abstract photography, surrealism, art. Call it what you will, but taking photographs of unusual subjects lends itself in many ways. Here, I dyed a glass of water with magenta printer ink, and using direct flash and some bounced light from reflectors against a white background, I dropped 4 ice cubes from above into the glass. Timing was paramount, so I fired the shutter 3 times in quick succesion, though the first image proved to be the winner. Sharpening and saturation in photoshop finished it all off nicely. Oh, and RAW mode was used to give me the options of modification in software afterwards.
