Of course.

First step was to get the essentials:
- Food Coloring
- Milk
- Cotton Swab
- Dish Soap
- Plate or bowl

Put a small amount of milk in a bowl. Place the food coloring in different areas of the bowl. Dip the end of the cotton swab in the dish soap. Gently place the cotton swab in the food coloring, and watch the colors change.

The setup for the shot was using a Canon MP-E 65 macro lens with the Macro Twin Flash. Set up the tripod and lens parallel with the bowl and used a cable release. I viewed the bowl using Live View and would use my free hand to mix the colors a bit.

Hope this helps!
