wax splash

[.b.]

Hi,
took these shots during one bored hot night back home in Indonesia.
my home city, Medan have recently experience frequent blackouts due to insufficient supply of electricity.
It goes as long as 4 hours per blackout and up to 3 times a day.
so, i began thinking of what to shoot during these times of no power supply.
one night, i began melting candles and started shooting this !
my only main power of light is from my 580EX, the candle itself and a torchlight that i shone on the wax for focus prior to dropping the melted wax.

I thought they turned out cool and would like to know what do you guys think about it :)

comments and critique is greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

8 is outstanding! Shows that imagination helps take great exposures and not just having lots of expensive kit.
