I think blood will become subject of one of my next series. I just need to find somewhat large enough quantities... :D

Image obviously PS altered, no crop, just color adjustments to add to the drama.

Dude... that is wicked!

But I can't understand what it is... doesn't look like an actual exit wound... yet you call it exit. :confused:

Work of art!

It looks exactly like a broadhead of an arrow exiting tuning paper with a lot of red ink on it...

Thanx for enthusiastic comments, I appreciate it! ;)

Bloo Dog: You mean more of the series or more of the good stuff? :D

If I intentionally want to capture something specific I of course shoot a series of photos and then pick one I like most, so, no there is no more... I queried for film blood.. comes in gallons, isn't cheap... :(

The recipes we used to use involved the following ingredients,. (I don't recall quantites)

Corn Syrup (Karo syrup was the brand name)

Hersheys chocolate syrup. (in those days it came in a tin,. I do not think it's the same as comes in the palstic squeze bottle)

"Pink" liquid dish detergent

Food coloring (red and blue)

Ah, yes, I've found a few of those, but I think the reason why the commercial artificial blood is so expensive is that it gets washed off easily. So does this one wash out easily?

And one other thing... I'm not sure if it's going to be of any importance to me, but I've noticed that blood has a special dispersion properties, when a drop falls onto a surface it shatters almost like gasoline, the water drops are tighter because of... I forget the expression, the intermolecular force, apparently blood has less of it.. is there anything on this?

Surface Tension .. and Viscosity ,. these are the two main things that make liquids behave so differently.

The Blood recipes allways had too much surface tension and were too thick,..
The pink detergent is what makes it wash out "relatively" easily :)

It's too bad tomato juics deosn't look more like blood,. as it has wicked low surface tension...

wait... I've got some chemical from the old days that makes films dry out faster a few drops would nullify surface tension of like a liter of water... I'll try that... :D
