|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board How to photograph oil in the studio. Thomas B. Shea, Photographer Pearland/Houston | TX | USA | Posted: 3:25 PM on 06.14.10 ->> This has nothing to do with the BP oil spill. Was wondering if anyone has ever photographed motor oil in the studio? I didn't realize how dark the oil becomes the more thicker it gets. Any suggestions. I am now trying to light it from the bottom through a glass container.

Drop him a line, he might be willing to share his technique. -K  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

There are a lot of things that can be done with oil.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
