The setup

1. A piece of safety glass clamped to my bench hanging over the edge which gives a clear view through to the floor.
2. A pyrex dish on the glass filled with some olive oil and vinegar and twirled about with a pen to agitate it.
3. A studio flash above, triggered wirelessly by the flash gun below, which is illuminating the six pieces (A5 size) of coloured card on the floor.
4. Used a Canon 5DMk2 and Canon 100mmL macro (nice)

You have to admire my cable management...

Well, I'd like to say 'Great, Chris...' but I'm not sure what a taboret is! Is it that cabinet thingee? It's very useful for camera bits and pieces.

You get unusual and interesting pix at low cost and afterwards, you can chuck it on yer salad and enjoy.
