Lava Lamps... they just never get old!

Our 17 year old daughter received a lava lamp for Christmas from her 19 year old sister.  You know... that is just one gift that never gets old, and they make for some fun photos.  I photographed this image last night after we got home from dinner.

I cropped the image to show just the melting, stretching, goo inside the lamp (I'm not sure how else to describe it).  It makes for an interesting, different image.

Camera specs: Canon 1D Mark III with EF 24-70mm lens at 34mm; 1/30 sec at f/5.6; ISO 400; no flash; hand held the camera.

Here's one more image...

It is always a fun photo exercise to try and look at the usual in an unusual way.  Here is a glass of Merlot looking straight down into the glass.

Have a great day, get inspired, and go take some photos!
