Thanks a lot for the input too, Ron. I appreciate it. I've heard of many of the techniques you mentioned, though I haven't experimented with all of them yet. When I first started experimenting with the water reflection method I used a typical ceramic cereal bowl coupled with either natural light or incandescent lighting. I achieved some impressive results for using such a basic setup.
I've also experimented with colored incandescent party light bulbs. Eventually I made the switch to LED lighting. What are your thoughts on LED bulbs, Ron? I personally consider them to be the best artificial light source option for these experiments. Not only are they more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs or CFL bulbs, but they also have much longer lifespans. They're also a lot more eco friendly (as well as a lot safer). Those being the main benefits, there are still plenty more. The charts located at the link below do a fine job at comparing LED bulbs to incandescent bulbs and CFL bulbs:

LED bulbs come in multiple colors as well. I recently purchased a multicolored LED bulb that comes equipped with an infrared remote control. The remote allows you to alternate between a spectrum of 16 different colors. You can also dim or brighten the bulb at the click of a button. I'm looking forward to using this bulb in future experiments:

Getting back to containers though, I've been using 3 quart stainless steel dog food/water dishes in my past few experiments. They're not horrible container choices, though they do tend to reflect the objects and colors they're surrounded by. This is a fairly significant drawback (as it can interfere with your experiment results). I'm thinking about making the switch back to ceramic bowls. Possibly black bowls.
One of the things I really love about the water reflection method is all the variables you can change and experiment with. From all the different containers you can use, to all the different light source options, to all the different video recording devices and filters, etc. We really do have countless options at our disposal. It adds a great deal of excitement and flexibility to the experiments.
The tabletop whirlpool concept sounds intriguing. I'll definitely have to look into that. Something else worth mentioning... I wiggle a finger or two in the water during my experiments, and I've come to find that many of the manifested images appear around my finger(s). It's my theory that the entities use our energy to assist them in forming the images, and making physical contact with the water surface seems to aid them in the manifestation process.
Sincerely,
Jeremy
