Lightpainting Of Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Part 2

Here is the link to the post...

Last Sunday I mentioned in my post that there will be a second part. Here it is, the hardest drink in the galaxy!

This time I used a cocktail glass filled with water and a few drops of blue ink. The glass was placed on a music stand so that I could shine a CONVOY S2+ with a blue LED through the holes from below. Beforehand, I used the "SmokeMaster Pro" fog machine to fill the glass and the immediate vicinity of the glass with fog. The fog machine was described in the last post.

To "freeze" the fog over the glass I used a flash, which I positioned over the set with a snoot and triggered manually.
Then I covered the lens, lit a sparkler, positioned the sparkler on the edge of the glass and moved it in a circle on the edge. I opened the lens until I had completely surrounded the edge of the glass with the sparkler. The next picture shows the set.

The procedure actually sounds quite simple, but apparently it wasn't. The following pictures show what can go wrong.

I usually work my way into a subject bit by bit. I took the first pictures without a flash, using a flashlight. This did not lead to the desired result. There was too much movement in the fog, as you can see in the following picture.
