On a recent ‘Create Day’ with the Mallow camera club we explored crazy things like photographing spilled ink in puddles of potcheen.

The process was very simple, pour the potcheen onto blotting paper (with optional nip when no one’s watching), place drop of coloured ink onto the wet and changing paper, take a photograph, pour again, have another nip and repeat.

The constantly moving patterns were quite mesmerising and the challenge was knowing when to stop.

Of the many weird photographic endeavours explored that day we only got a taste (no pun intended) of each but enough to wet the appetite to do it all again.
