Used detergent for the bubbles and a few drops of mouthwash for the golden color for this Monday Macro Monochrome challenge !

Macro Mondays - Begins with the Letter P

Soap Bubbles, in window light. HMM. I used to make those huge bubbles using joy detergent, glycerin and ? I fun phenomenon for kids of all ages.

Thanks for your comments and favs!

 

Recipe for bubbles: Glycerin

 

. Although this recipe created great bubbles, you have to use quite a bit of glycerin to create bubbles that won’t pop quickly. That made this recipe not very cost-effective. Although, glycerin is a good goo-maker for bubbles. So many disposables make for good bubble makers.

 

1 cup water

2 Tbs Dawn or Joy dish soap

2 Tbs Glycerin

These detergent pods are colorful and appealing to

children but poisonous. Keep them somewhere safe if you use them.

I shook up my bottle of dish detergent and took a macro of the bubbles sliding down the inside of the bottle.

 

This is a photograph of dish detergent bubbles in the kitchen sink with candy underneath.

Dish detergent bubbles with blue ink dye.

Dishwashing liquid, also known as dishwashing soap, dish detergent, and dish soap is a detergent used to assist in dishwashing. It is usually a highly-foaming mixture of surfactants with low skin irritation, and is primarily used for hand washing of glasses, plates, cutlery, and cooking utensils in a sink or bowl.

This photograph is the result of two days worth of playing with a liquid concoction. Water, baby oil, liquid detergent, and glycerin were mixed together and left alone for 12 hours. Then I started investigating the results. Voila!

“Seeing shapes and colours without the burden of thinking about what they are will liberate your creative mind, inform your visual resources and alleviate intellectual interference.”

"Believe in your dreams. Believe in today. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. Believe we can build a better world. Believe when others might not. Believe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Believe that you might be that light for someone else. Believe that the best is yet to be. Believe in each other. Believe in yourself. I believe in you."

Knowing that dishwashing soap is a grand plaything, I decided to create a concentrated solution when mixed with water. Dipping a cake cooling rack into the liquid, I then placed the rack in the kitchen window. It was a messy project, but the results were astounding. "There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes."

This is a ring-necked duck. A rather dapper looking duck with bright yellow eyes. The ring around their neck is often not apparent but can sometimes be seen as a chestnut-toned ring around the base of their neck. The title is a reference back to 1970's era ad series here in the U.S. for Wisk laundry detergent which they touted as being able to get rid of that pesky ring around the collar. This duck must use Wisk 😁

Posted for Macro Monday Group theme: Bubbles

as you do. For Macro Mondays this week's theme is: 'on a coin'. I used an Australian 50 cent coin and on top is a miniature laundry detergent and a mini sponge.

Nature's Soap for all your cleaning needs! Who knew, surely not me!

 

One for the series and I know you're just dying to find out so here goes. I've been visiting my dad in Florida and I noticed these acorn looking nuts all over the ground by a parking lot. I've never seen them before and grabbed a couple to ID. I found that if you break open the shell there is a single hard seed inside that looks like a blueberry but is hard as a rock. I tried searching for a black nut/seed and looked at just about every possible tree without success. I finally took a picture of the outer shell together with the black nuts and my tree ID app came back with the Soapberry. It turns out they contain a natural, low-sudsing detergent called saponin. Soaking in hot water releases it and you can use to wash your hands, hair, clothes or whatever! I went back and collected quite a few and brought them home for further research and of course a picture...turns out, the soapberry has quite a following with the anti-poo or no-poo folks

Detergent foam on a bath sponge for this week's Macro Monday theme "Bubbles".

 

Taken with a Super-Takumar 55mm f/2 lens (the radioactive one) at F5.6 on about 8cm of bellows. The wonderful bubble bokeh was very short lived, I took a burst of shots, one every second, but they disappeared very quickly.

 

In PP, I've cropped to about 25% of the frame, denoised and moved the sliders about a bit. Final image is less than 2cm across.

Laundry detergent pods. For the Macro Mondays group. Topic: Handle with care. These little detergent pods are quite fragile and squish easily. They are convenient but must be kept out of the reach of children because the look very much like candy. HMM!

Small vial with glass stopper, once given to me by my brother as a birthday present and meant to be used as a perfume bottle, but normally it's filled with seed beads. Took some captures with the beads, with the beads and water, didn't like any, so went for just water, water with - boring, I know - dish detergent, water with olive oil, water with dish detergent and olive oil... I was quite undecided which capture to upload, so probably two outtakes will follow.

 

This is the first time I used a self-made softbox as one lightsource (video links see below), but used my LED lamps as well. There wasn't much natural light available, and since the artificial light gave the images a soft, yellow-ish touch I did some split toning in LR and ON1 Photo Raw to add some colour spice.

I followed these instructions, super simple, super easy. It's in German, but the images are self explanatory: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfBlZeFexpE

A Happy Macro Monday Everyone ;-)

 

Kleiner Flakon mit langem Glasstopfen, den mein Bruder mir mal zum Geburtstag geschenkt hat und der eigentlich als Parfümfläschchen dienen sollte, den ich aber immer mit Rocailles befüllt habe. Mit den Perlchen habe ich denn auch angefangen, Perlen pur, Perlen in Wasser, so richtig hat mir keins gefallen. Dann also: Perlen raus, Wasser rein, Fotos. Dann: Spüli dazu, Fotos. Dann: Spüliwasser raus, Wasser mit Olivenöl rein, Fotos, Spüli dazu, Fotos... usw. usf. Ich konnte mich am Ende nicht recht entscheiden, wahrscheinlich kommen also noch zwei weitere Fotos aus dieser "Serie" ;-)

 

Hier habe ich zum ersten Mal mit einer selbstgebauten Softbox experimentiert (Links siehe oben). Außerdem kamen noch meine schwedischen LEDs zum Einsatz. Da wenig natürliches Licht zur Verfügung stand und das Kunstlicht immer einen gelblichen Farbstich erzeugt, habe ich in LR und ON1 Photo Raw an den Teiltonungs-Reglern gedreht, um dem Foto etwas mehr farblichen Pep zu verleihen.

 

Ich wünsche Euch eine sonnige Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

This was a really useful theme; it reminded me to go and buy two new pan scrubs from the local hardware store. These brightly coloured ones last for ages. Seen here with a drop of Fairy Liquid (other brands of dishwashing liquids and general purpose green detergents, are available, see in store for details, your pots are at risk if you don't scrub them properly, suds and conditions apply). This was just a tad under two times magnification, so there is around half of an inch of the scene here. Happy scrubbing.

This is part of my "I spend too much time cleaning" series.

More serendipity here, courtesy of that necessary weekly task, laundry, and the ability to peer into the window of the front-loading washer to observe bubbles churned up as the clothes go around.

 

To get the shot, I had to pause the cycle to open the door. This formation was clinging on to the tip of an inside-out pants pocket, about two inches (50.8mm) at the width I cropped to.

Imagine that liquid were Kryptonite. And just one single, tiny droplet would do your entire housecleaning for you in the blink of an eye... wash the dishes, clean the windows, swipe'n'wipe the floors, dust the shelves, do the laundry... you name it, "Kryptie" does it. If only... *sigh* ;-) In reality this is bland, colourless dish detergent which is contained, together with the dosing pump, in a Hulk-green, translucent, sturdy, refillable soap dispenser. Shook it a little to get some nice bubbles, placed the dispenser on a clamp (on a glass table) so it would be slightly raised (and wouldn't roll away all the time as well), lit it from below, set the in-camera ratio to 1:1 to make the positioning / composing as a square-format image, with the visible part of the small tube placed exactly in the corners, easier, and shot it from straight above, lens pointing down, camera mounted safely, snugly and hassle-free on my macro-tripod. Processed in Luminar 3, not 4. I have decided to keep Luminar 3 next to 4, because as much as I like the "Sky Replacement" feature (although I've only ever used it once so far), I really don't like the new, "over-simplified" user interface at all. Version 3's UI is logical, well laid-out, self-explanatory, easy to use, while in version 4... it seems that by trying to make things super easy they actually made everything more complicated ;-)

 

HMM, and a Happy New Year Everyone!

  

Wunschdenken

 

Stellt Euch mal vor, dies wäre Kryptonit. Und ein einziger, winziger Tropfen würde ausreichen, um den gesamten Hausputz für Euch zu erledigen. Den Abwasch, die Wäsche, die Fenster, die Böden... egal was, "Kryptie" macht es im Handumdrehen... Das wäre zu schön, oder? Genau. Konjunktiv. Und deshalb ist das auch bloß langweiliges, farbloses Spüli und die dazugehörige Dosierpumpe in einem Hulk-grünen, robusten, wiederbefüllbaren Seifenspender. Ich habe das Ganze ein wenig geschüttelt, um hübsche kleine Bläschen zu erzeugen, dann habe ich den Seifenspender leicht angeschrägt auf eine Klammer und diese auf ein Glastischchen gelegt (auch damit der Spender nicht ständig wegrollt), dieses von unten beleuchtet und dann direkt von oben, Kamera kopfüber (sicher ans Makro-Stativ geschraubt) fotografiert. Um die Positionierung insbesondere des Röhrchens der Dosierpumpe zu vereinfachen, habe ich das Format gleich in der Kamera auf 1:1 gestellt. Entwickelt in Luminar 3. So interessant ich das neue "Sky-Replacement"-Werkzeug finde (obwohl ich es auch erst einmal benutzt habe), so nervig finde ich die neue, vermeintlich viel "einfachere", "intuitivere" Benutzeroberfläche; die finde ich in Version 3 viel logischer aufgebaut und besser durchdacht.

 

HMM, Ihr Lieben, und ein schönes, gesundes und erfolgreiches neues Jahr allerseits!

 

fungus (plural: fungi or funguses is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista.

A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the Eumycota (true fungi or Eumycetes), that share a common ancestor (i.e. they form a monophyletic group), an interpretation that is also strongly supported by molecular phylogenetics. This fungal group is distinct from the structurally similar myxomycetes (slime molds) and oomycetes (water molds). The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology (from the Greek μύκης mykes, mushroom). In the past, mycology was regarded as a branch of botany, although it is now known fungi are genetically more closely related to animals than to plants.

Abundant worldwide, most fungi are inconspicuous because of the small size of their structures, and their cryptic lifestyles in soil or on dead matter. Fungi include symbionts of plants, animals, or other fungi and also parasites. They may become noticeable when fruiting, either as mushrooms or as molds. Fungi perform an essential role in the decomposition of organic matter and have fundamental roles in nutrient cycling and exchange in the environment. They have long been used as a direct source of human food, in the form of mushrooms and truffles; as a leavening agent for bread; and in the fermentation of various food products, such as wine, beer, and soy sauce. Since the 1940s, fungi have been used for the production of antibiotics, and, more recently, various enzymes produced by fungi are used industrially and in detergents. Fungi are also used as biological pesticides to control weeds, plant diseases and insect pests. Many species produce bioactive compounds called mycotoxins, such as alkaloids and polyketides, that are toxic to animals including humans. The fruiting structures of a few species contain psychotropic compounds and are consumed recreationally or in traditional spiritual ceremonies. Fungi can break down manufactured materials and buildings, and become significant pathogens of humans and other animals. Losses of crops due to fungal diseases (e.g., rice blast disease) or food spoilage can have a large impact on human food supplies and local economies.

The fungus kingdom encompasses an enormous diversity of taxa with varied ecologies, life cycle strategies, and morphologies ranging from unicellular aquatic chytrids to large mushrooms. However, little is known of the true biodiversity of Kingdom Fungi, which has been estimated at 2.2 million to 3.8 million species.[5] Of these, only about 148,000 have been described,[6] with over 8,000 species known to be detrimental to plants and at least 300 that can be pathogenic to humans.[7] Ever since the pioneering 18th and 19th century taxonomical works of Carl Linnaeus, Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, and Elias Magnus Fries, fungi have been classified according to their morphology (e.g., characteristics such as spore color or microscopic features) or physiology. Advances in molecular genetics have opened the way for DNA analysis to be incorporated into taxonomy, which has sometimes challenged the historical groupings based on morphology and other traits. Phylogenetic studies published in the first decade of the 21st century have helped reshape the classification within Kingdom Fungi, which is divided into one subkingdom, seven phyla, and ten subphyla.
