I spent my usual Saturday night in and did a bit of experimentation.

I'm planning on working on refining this process some more over the next few weeks and will post up the results as I go along.

Gadzooks! Like a mini weather system in the room. Amazing effect. Love to hear how it was done and whether you need to let the neighbours know beforehand so you don't get the fire service turning up!

#2 and #4 for me. I think I would have called it weather systems or something, doesn't remind me of a geyser.

I love it when people experiment, great work.

I too would be interested to know how you done them :up:

Fascinating images and excellent photography! Are we looking at the images upside down? :D

Fascinating! Very creative!
As above 4 & 2 for me. You could add some
very strong saturated colours to see how they
end up.
I read recently in a mag how to create nebulas
and your own universe and you are on the road
already.

I think you might have hit that nail fair and square, but we'll wait and see what PiroStitch has to say!

I also like this in particular the last one. They are great abstracts with plenty of detail and texture to keep the eye interested.

Hi all,

Matt got it in one :) It's a messy thing to set up but essentially create your mixture and let physics take its course.

I didn't need to warn the neighbours or contact the local fire brigade beforehand :mrgreen:

Very interesting indeed. Can't wait for the explanation of how to set off all your smoke alarms... :wink: :wink:

Hmm... I might create an Australia with faster internet access. 100Mbits anyone?

Less likely Matt. I am pretty sure that at least one of those particles are falling down the right way...
