Hi Vicki,

I use a long tupperware container, a rectangular flat mirror, and water.

I have found that the most important variable in water pictures is the colors you provide for the pictures - it's something that is in our complete control. For more information about these items, please check out the reflection photography tutorial.

In this experiment I decided to mix it up as much as I could (the background colors), and just use a flat mirror. I also used a halogen light to bring the light level to an appropriate level. (I don't do an experiment without it)

Here's the first frame of the video - what you are seeing is the reflection of a blanket draped over a kitchen ceiling light. I made it so that the camera saw the light, the pale tan of the ceiling, the dark blue from the blanket, and the white from the blanket.
