Four shots taken at this mornings bubble run. It's been a rough week, the flue kicked my ass, twice. Just when I thought I was over it it boomeranged back. But great to get out this morning, and get some fresh air and bubbles!

Soap bubbles blown towards Elberfeld.

I was walking along the Royal Mile and saw a flurry of bubbles flying. Sadly, I didn't have my usual Canon camera.

As the saying goes, the best camera you have is the one in your hand with you right now. I took out my mobile phone!

I took this whilst watching someone demonstrating a bubble blowing device. On processing I could see the reflection of the ground within it, reflected upon itself.

The Bubble Tsunami man was at the Oceanside Pier. This was my first use of a flash.

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.

Testing out the new lens I picked up at the goodwill store. I paid $30 for an old nikon fm body with a 2x tele converter and a 70-210 telephoto lens. The lens and the tele converter are completely manual.

Soap bubbles inside soap bubbles, in sunlight.

I love the backlighting of the curves. Perfect curves!

Bubble

The world is like a bubble.

Floating,

barley on the edge,

ready to pop,

at any moment.

Make the world a better place.

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.

“A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around”
