These are a bit samey so this is the last of these for a while.
This is how I do these soap bubble shots.
I have a piece of curved perpex (I bought a flat sheet and bent it in the bath by pouring boiling water onto it) which I covered in tissue paper. A domed light tent basically.
I have 2 flashguns either side.
I blow the bubbles in from under the side of the perspex using a tube.
I made a loop in a pipe cleaner about 1 cm across. Then I wrapped it around the end of the tube and angled it up and then down. This allows it to catch a good amount of bubble fluid and because of the downward angle of the pipe cleaner it means gravity can still feed the loop even if the blow pipe is angled upwards. This lets me blow large/lots of bubbles. Using just a tube I found I could only blow small or very few bubbles at a time.
This most recent set of bubble photos were taken using a studio flash and plain old washing up liquid and water. The bubble doesn't last very long at all, between 30 and 60 secdonds, but the colours are great! The powerful studio flash allows me to use F/32 and ISO 100 which ensures the sharpest image.
This is a roughly 8cm soap bubble shot with a 70mm lens and a 12mm extension tube.
I used a bottle cap to mount the bubble. The shot was lit from the left with a light going through a diffuser. On the right was a homemade reflectorwith a textured material on the reflector which gives the bubble its patterns.
The colours are all natural and come from the varying thickness of the bubble wall.
