Abstracts with Dry Ice

Posted on February 13, 2020 by Jordan Steele

This is going to be a quick post, but I wanted to share a little experiment I did this evening.  My wife had ordered some Jeni’s ice cream in the mail, which ships in a cooler with a block of dry ice to keep it cold during transport, and so I did what anyone would do…dump it in some water and take pictures of the fog.  Ok, maybe it’s just me who would do that.  I snagged my tabletop light stand, popped my Godox V1 off to the side for dramatic side lighting, dropped a sizeable chunk of dry ice into a bowl (as seen below) and took shots looking straight down into the bowl to capture a wide variety of abstract swirling shapes in the fog.  I added a hint of color in post, based on how a particular image felt to me, and the results are below. Quick, easy and I ended up quite pleased with the final result.

The setup – bowl full of water and a chunk of dry ice – Godox V1 to the right about 2 feet away.

      I hope to. I have a bit of a backlog of reviews that I’m working on, though I hope to get my hands on the 50/2 soon to take a closer look.
