Something I had wanted to photograph but never got around to (until recently) was to photograph gelcap with different types of light (and lasers) because of the way it interacts with the pills being translucent and curved. So I raided the medicine cabinet and the first batch I photographed was just ibuprofen 200mg, which are blueish green in color, very 495nm looking. I thought they would illuminate nice with a 460nm and a 495nm to start, and then other colors were used. I eventually used UV light and the pills just lit up and look really cool. The pictures below are really just experiments to see how the pills react to light and figure out my exposures, but look pretty good. Some of them are a little rough around the edges and out of sharp focus. That was something I corrected midway thru this batch.
In subsequent photo sessions I came up with some nice ideas using more gelcaps (vitamin D and fish oil gelcap) and spent another 10 days photographing them. Those photos are more artistic than the below photos. If people enjoy these pics I will have to get some of the other ones posted. Enjoy
