Sunlight household soap was introduced by the British company Lever Brothers in 1884. It was the world's first packaged, branded laundry soap.Designed for washing clothes and general household use, the success of the product led to the name for the company's village for its workers, Port Sunlight. The soap formula was invented by a Bolton chemist named William Hough Watson, who also became an early business partner. Watson's process created a new soap, using glycerin and vegetable oils such as palm oil rather than tallow (animal fats). William Lever and his brother James Darcy Lever invested in Watson's soap invention and its initial success came from offering bars of cut, wrapped, and branded soap in his father's grocery shop. This was an early labour-saving device for the housewife as prior to this, commercially made soap was bought in long bars. Sunlight soap was eventually supplanted by modern products made from synthetically produced detergents rather than naturally derived soaps. from Wikipedia

Soap bubbles, whether they’re frozen or not are pretty amazing at interacting with light. The swirls and colors are constantly moving and changing. Two frames taken of the same bubble seconds apart will look nothing like each other.
I picked up a macro lens recently. With the prospect of another frigid Chicago winter on the horizon, I wanted to do some macro photography projects in the warmth of my apartment. First up is soap film, which is a fun technical challenge and leads to some very colorful images.
Doing some soap bubble photos for my 52 Frames challenge this week. I had a few unique ones like this one. The pattern looks like fungi to me, so I thought I would share.
A little girl has some great fun blowing soap bubbles in mid-afternoon just in front of their house by a side street at a village in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
This turned out beyond my expectations. The picture happened with a thin tablet of soap, lathered up under water, then placed on a glass shelf with a light underneath. When I saw the resultant picture I was very excited at how lovely it came out. Isn't it great?
Or perhaps I should say stolen soap... Small hotel soaps in a stack for the Macro Mondays group, challenge: Soap.
Happy Macro Monday!
If you look at a soap bubble close enough, you'll see the most amazing and colorful patterns
This is a small part- less than an inch - of one of them

I bought this bar of soap in the Buckingham Palace gift shop while visiting London with my son for a visit to the Harry Potter exhibition, I think somewhere in 2017. It still smells very intense. The background is the inner lining of my very English Barbour waxcoat. Nice combination I think.
