excerpt:

I'm sure you'll be curious as to how these were taken and want to know a little more, so I thought I'd share a little bit about how these were captured.

How these effects were achieved.

1. I experimented here with a tall glass tumbler, inside it I stuffed some colourful wool. On the outside of the glass, I used a glass eyedropper to apply some glycerol and let it drip. With Camera+ I set the mode to 'burst' and took a series of images while the drip was moving down the glass. I purchased glycerol at my local pharmacy for about AUD$7. What you see here is the wool fibre being 'reflected' or shown through the glycerol. Not sure that reflection is quite the right word.
