I really like the extreme-ness of this photo (the saturation of the pink bubble, the whiteness of the eyes, and the blueness of the irises). To shoot this, I used a diffused studio flash from directly above to create the washed over and equal tone. The flash was1/8th power and triggered by my camera.
Dendrites | Soap Bubble Freezing
Today’s subzero temperature (-10°C), calm wind and bright blue clear skies amounted to an irresistible invitation to photograph freezing soap bubbles. Herewith are a series of still images along with a relevant short video I produced 6 years ago showing the growth of dendrites in soap bubbles.

It looks like alive cells ..
Do you guess which trick I used ?
Colourful bubbles at the O2.
The writing is made up of a matrix of tiny lights - the words scroll past quickly, left to right.
This was very strange to photograph. With the naked eye, the text was very bright, clear and easy to read. However, I could not get a photo to reflect the real-life appearance. No matter what I changed (shutter speed, polarizer, viewing angle...) the writing always came out very dim, barely standing out from the background, and so very hard to read. Nothing for it, therefore, than some heavy-handed photoshopping to get it looking 'right'.
Go there, find the bubbles (right inside the main entrance), take some photos and see what I mean. Weird.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the writing appears bright to the naked eye because of some sort of 'vision persistence' effect. However, I couldn't re-create this using a slower shutter speed, so I guess the effect is to do with your brain's perception, rather than a physical optical effect.
