One of my soap films (taken with the new camera) which has appeared on a few websites and newspapers this week including the Daily Mail, London Metro, Yahoo News and The Daily Record (see in the Comments below for some of the links)
The inner circle which I use for these photos measures 18mm. This latest series of shots are of tiny areas within that ring.
Natural patterns arising from soap and water mixture in an 18mm ring.
Actually an old one from back in March - one which didn't make it into Flickr! There were so many similar ones that I didn't bother to add them all. Now I've decided to keep them all together in the set!

For Utata's Iron Photographer 121 the elements are as follows:
1 - soap
2 - something sharp
3 - lighted by a flashlight
End of October, just a few minutes before the sun disappeared behind some trees, I used the opportunity to capture a batch of dried grass that was covered in backlit bokehlicious dewdrops :)
As far as my understanding goes, out of focus highlights that feature a distinct (bright ?) rim are called "soap bubble" bokeh (due to resembling ...), and people seem to flock to it, but I'm not sure how rare it really is. I like it too though, not gonna lie.
Fast vintage glass appears to be most conducive to produce this sort of effect.

My passion for opal stones has made these soap bubbles irresistible to me.
This is one of the cheapest projects I have ever done, a little water, washing up liquid and glycerin. Add to that a flash gun, a round diffuser and some black cloth then snap away. You don't even need a macro lens, your kit lens will do. For further information go to www.digital-photography-school.com/how-photograph-sheer-b.... and join the addiction.
This one, and two in the Comments, were left over from the other night. I wasn't going to include them but here they are anyway! ;-)

119 Pictures in 2019 - #91: Soap
I used a reversing ring with my kit lens to get this macro shot of soap bubbles.
Alternative idea for Macro Mondays "soap".
For my posting to the group I went with this science demo instead:
In the same 18mm ring as the last one, the mixture being mostly washing up liquid and water this time! It seems that, whatever soap you use there are different types of patterns which appear.
Artificial light again (an ordinary desk lamp with 60 watt bulb); ISO 100, F10, 1/100 sec exposure
In case you are wondering what creates this strange and magical scene, I'll tell you.
All this is, is a pint glass, dipped in soapy water, on a piece of black paper.
Simple.
The magic is finding exactly the right angle where the soap film that forms over the top of the pint glass catches the light in such a way that it transforms from transparent to the wild colours you see before you.
Like some kind of strange planet emerging.
Its sort of like photographing a soap bubble - but the whole surface picks up the colour.
Try it - let me know how you get on!
Otherwise, have a lovely day.
Colours and patterns arising from the interference of reflected light rays on a thin film of water and soap held in a tiny frame (a 'bubble wand'). The inner circle which I use for these photos measures 18mm. I removed the ugly plastic outer surround to the ring in Photoshop and the colours are slightly brightened - otherwise the soap film is entirely natural.
One from this afternoon (and another in the Comments), using some washing up liquid (Tesco's own brand!) - it's so tempting to try this out using different soaps!

The last of my latest soap shots! I used undiluted washing up liquid in a tiny frame (a child's 'bubble wand'). The inner circle (which contains the soap) measures 18mm. Quite a heavy crop so doesn't enlarge in size much, if at all.
There are three more shots in the Comments - small areas within the ring.
The patterns and colours are natural apart from being brightened in Photoshop.

“But it’s a lie,” continued Yuffie. “It always has been, and there are those out there, that continue to believe. They allow themselves to be led. Believing they work for us. While they really take away our health services, our education, our…”
Yuffie looked across the masses, peering up at her. Silently, Idly, with lit faces.
“Our nations current leader is a prat,” she declared.
Rapturous applause.
She sighed and stepped off the podium.

Eucalyptus and Lemongrass essential oils. Shea butter, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Palm Oil, Rice Bran Oil and Sunflower Oil. Makes a really hard but super moisturizing bar of soap. Coloured with green and yellow oxides.
The last from yesterday! I shall now have a rest from these for a while...

Using some washing up liquid (Tesco's own brand!) with some water added - it's so tempting to try this out using different soaps! The colours are very slightly brightened - otherwise the soap film is completely natural.

She loves her soap....pronounced "hope" by her sweet little 2 year old voice. She can find it anywhere...she snatches it up and clings tightly to it! She hides it, so it isn't taken away, she covets it, so others can't have it, she holds it delicately in her hands, for not to ruin it. She loves her soap...
The very last shots from the other night. I used my usual tiny frame (a child's 'bubble wand'); the diameter of the circle measures 18mm but these patterns were found between clusters of small spherical bubbles - the area above being perhaps one twentieth of that circle.
The patterns and colours are natural apart from being brightened in Photoshop and the soapy 'froth' and bubbles around the edges have been removed.
There are several more of these in the Comments! Thanks for the nice comments you've all made recently but I shall have a rest from soap films for a while - I'm sure I'll come back to them at some point though ;-)
