Jane in Colour
Soap Film 50
A few more from yesterday! The main one is very similar to my Soap Film 47 - I should perhaps have added it underneath that one at the time but here it is in its own right (plus two more in the Comments).
Colours and patterns arising from the interference of reflected light rays on a thin film of water and soap held in a tiny frame (a 'bubble wand'). The inner circle which I use for these photos measures 18mm. I removed the ugly plastic outer surround to the ring in Photoshop and the colours are slightly brightened - otherwise the soap film is entirely natural.
Using some washing up liquid (Tesco's own brand!) with some water added - it's so tempting to try this out using different soaps!
Sony Alpha 100 SDLR camera with Cosina Macro 100mm lens; 1/125 sec at f/11 (ISO 200). No flash - lit by an office type angle-poised lamp.
Anyone interested in this type of photography, please feel free to join the Soap Films group (link below) and add some photos soon!
