Thin film interference in a soap bubble film. Alternative edit. The original is here: www.flickr.com/photos/graham_scarborough/13193015414/
It is very cold here now, the bubble in the picture is actually a soap bubble that freezes immediately. Lucky I was when it landed on the porch without going into pieces.To accomplish this photo I took in use foto stacking it consists of about 7 images.
I like real soap, not liquid soap, the good old Marseille soap which leaves that very peculiar fragrance on the skin. A childhood memory that sticks to my skin.

Trying to use less plastics we have reverted back to soap to wash our hands.
Little steps....
Sorry, I had intended to have a bit of a break from these, but it's been raining all day and this is my antidote. :)
Soft Box Above Bubble Supported By Tin Cans. Bubbles Created: Ten Tea Spoons Of Sugar Dissolved Into Water (Which Was Heated Up) Then Added Washing Up Liquid.
These two pictures are from a vertically hung flat soap film. They are both from the same picture and one is cropped closer. They are extremely close up. One is 1cm across and the other is 1/2cm across. The colors along with the black circles are so satisfying.
A few weeks ago I read an article about how surface patterns on soap bubbles are analogous to weather systems. Specifically, spirals on soap bubbles look a little like the vortices of hurricanes and tornadoes.

I'm a long way off capturing really clear and high def vortices on bubbles yet. But it's encouraging to see this spiral existing without me having to work hard to create it.
I'd love to photograph a vortex very clearly and beautifully. Hopefully I'll manage it one day. So far, I'm just one step closer.....
P.S. The image quality is not great here. Only a few pixels to play with.
And if you haven't spotted the spiral, it is..... just above the centre of the bubble. I only spotted it myself because I have been carefully looking out for these vortices. I bet I've photographed them in the past without noticing.
Soap and water mixture in an 18mm ring; ISO 100, F8, 1/160 sec exposure, artificial light (no flash)
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 but this shot, and two in the Comments, are just a tiny area within that circle.
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.

Soap and water mixture in an 18mm ring.
This one is cropped quite heavily so doesn't enlarge much; I nearly didn't include it here but I quite like the patterns of the drops. This one shows how the DoF is quite a problem because, even at a high F number some of the drops are in focus but nearby ones are not. I didn't understand this for ages because it seems to be a 'flat' film of soap, but the liquid is actually bulging at the centre!
One of several shots from last night and there are extra ones in the Comments too. I really had decided not to take any of these for a while as I've now taken so many and they are all a bit similar! So, after this and the few others I'll also upload soon (also from last night), I'm definitely having a long rest from these (I need to get onto something new!!)
I used my usual tiny frame (a child's 'bubble wand'); the diameter of the circle measures 18mm.
The patterns and colours are natural apart from being brightened in Photoshop and the ugly plastic outer ring removed..

This one is cropped quite a bit, just showing a tiny area which is much smaller than the previous one, so doesn't enlarge much unfortunately. Still working on the difficult DoF, trying to get the mix of soap, water and sugar right, struggling with the position of lights (natural and otherwise) and the angle of the camera in relation to the soap film - will hopefully work it all out eventually!

The final shots from the other night. Phew, I shall have a rest from soap films for a while!
I used my usual tiny frame (a child's 'bubble wand'); the diameter of the circle measures 18mm. There are three more shots in the Comments.
The patterns and colours are natural apart from being brightened in Photoshop - and I have removed the outer, ugly, plastic frame too.

"Prestige ist eine Seifenblase, die sofort platzt, wenn man sie selber aufbläst." (Heinz Hilpert)
Diese Seifenblase habe ich bei einem Fotokurs fotografiert, den ich vor kurzem gemacht habe. Seitdem ist mir zumindest der Zusammenhang zwischen Blende, Belichtung und ISO einigermaßen klar geworden.
This soap bubble I photographed in a photo training course that I've made recently. Since then I realized at least the relationship between aperture, exposure and ISO.
