Used detergent for the bubbles and a few drops of mouthwash for the golden color for this Monday Macro Monochrome challenge !
Taken for the “Macro Mondays” theme “Poisonous.”
These detergent pods are colorful and appealing to
children but poisonous. Keep them somewhere safe if you use them.
"Photography, like any other art, is a form of communication. The artist is not blowing bubbles for his own gratification, but is speaking a language, is telling somebody something."

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

There are times I'm staring at the ever-changing forms of oil floating on water and I find myself wanting to shout with delight! The shapes move so quickly before they eventually return to the circular blobs they once were.

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.

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.
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

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!
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.
