Bubble

This is a macro shot that was taken with crossed polarizing filters behind and in front of a Hot Shoe Spirit level.

 

The oil in the ampules had almost no effect on the color; but the plastic block changed the white lite from a strobe to shades of blue. If you look very carefully, you can just make out stress patterns where the plastic cured around one of the clip rings holding an ampule in place.

 

One of my favorite things about this photo is the way the oil filled ampule, the air bubble and the plastic block each provided a different focal length to the grid pattern on the strobes diffuser.
