Creating a liquid mixture for waterdrop photography

Waterdrops and splashes are fun and challenging things to photograph. You can use plain or colored water, but you will get more consistent and cleaner results if you include an additive to your liquid, such as Xanthan gum. In this video, watch how I make the liquid mixture I use for my waterdrop photographs. I start by creating a concentrate of water + xanthan gum and then use that each time I make a colored mixture to photograph. • Xanthan gum on Amazon*: https://amzn.to/3pZeAb9 • Neon gel food coloring*: https://amzn.to/3dSYi0W ------------------------- * Asterisk indicates an affiliate link ------------------------- Visit my website: https://nicolesyblog.com Check out my photography training: https://store.nicolesy.com Subscribe to the newsletter: https://nicolesyblog.com/newsletter Join my Flickr groups: https://flickr.com/groups/nicolesy https://flickr.com/groups/foodphoto https://flickr.com/groups/pdxphoto My camera gear*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/nicolesy ------------------------- Music by Audiio (https://audiio.com/) ------------------------- Send me an email: https://nicolesy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
