Liquid
My inspiration for the liquid photograph was from an article I read in a photography magazine.
I was attempting to catch a droplet of liquid at the moment of impact.

For the liquid I used a bowl of water and added milk to give it a thicker consistency, I then added some red food colouring.

I positioned the camera on the tripod with one flash attached to the camera and positioned the second flash off to the left of the main subject. I took a series of shots dropping milk into the liquid from a straw approximately 12" above the red liquid.

The shutter was controlled by means of a remote cable.

Solid
I chose the camera body for this shot as it represents to me something that is solid and sturdy when held. i tried to get an angle that captured the texture & feel of the camera that might convey its solid feel.
