Drop some Ink and the camera image will appear as an expanding Fluid. When you capture the next scene the last image will morph to your new scene. Capture this experience as a video or image and save it to the gallery. You can also enable a mirror mode which mirrors the left side of the camera. This allows you to create endless classic Rorschach images. Have fun and if you like it, thank you for sharing.
