Jim demonstrates how to create bismuth crystals for closeup photography. Bismuth is an element similiar to lead with a low melting point, but is not harmful to people or the environment. In fact, it is the main ingredient in Pepto Bismal! Do be careful if you try this yourself as bismuth must be heated to 500 degrees F to melt and requires a slow cool off period in order to form crystals. We recommend melting it out doors and be sure to wear proper gloves and eye protection and keep everything away from other flammable objects! Please share your images on Facebook with us if you decide to try this for yourself!
The Black Hills Photo Shootout will soon be open for reservations and more information can be found at www.thephotoshootout.com. Hope to see you there!
