Vintage Soap, Shampoo, & Detergent

"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."
William Mortensen
I shook up my bottle of dish detergent and took a macro of the bubbles sliding down the inside of the bottle.
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!
Soap bubble created from dish washing detergent. Bubble approx. 2 cm created through a drinking straw.
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."

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

Macro Mondays: Run
Photographed in morning window light, with a container of detergent reflecting its colour onto the water.
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.

DIY softbox on Youtube (and there are many, many more videos):
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!
New series "FLUID" in progress.
Beginning with the beauty of dishwashing detergent and water. Now finishing the first sequence 'Soap Opera' with an extreme crop.
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.

Size of the frame: 3,8 cm / 1,49 inches
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!

#stayathome: in this times I try to be creative staying at home. Sometimes a simple actions as washing dishes is an excuse to shot something of different. A macro of the bubbles of a detergent for the dishes.

Macro Mondays theme ''Mysterious''
This image was created using a transparent bowl filled with water, a little cooking oil and a few drops of liquid detergent. The bowl was placed on top of a colourful image. To take this picture I had to go very close from the liquid surface. Hope you will enjoy!
So, why don’t oil mix with water? Well, it will remain a mystery for most of us, but apparently it has to do with the molecules polarity. Of course, density is another part of the mystery. Oil has a lesser density than water. This is why it floats on top of the water
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
