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.
This bubble was hanging on for dear life from the soap dispenser. The least I could do was shoot it.
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.
First time I've tried using Zubbles - I bought some in blue recently as I wondered if they've give a different effect under a macro lens. The mixture is extremely thin and watery and starts off with brilliant colours which unfortunately only last for a few seconds.
I used my usual tiny frame (a child's 'bubble wand'). The diameter of the inner circle (which contains the soap) measures 18mm. There is another 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 (very little of it was showing up anyway) and the dark bubbles at the bottom.

The inner circle which I use for these photos measures 18mm. This latest series of shots are of tiny areas within that ring.
For Utata's Iron Photographer 121 the elements are as follows:
1 - soap
2 - something sharp
3 - lighted by a flashlight
Another of the shots from the other night. 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, and two in the Comments, were left over from the other night. I wasn't going to include them but here they are anyway! ;-)
(Colours and patterns arising naturally from the interference of reflected light rays from the front and rear surface of 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. These shots are of tiny areas within that ring)
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 surround to the ring in Photoshop and the colours are slightly brightened - otherwise the soap film is entirely natural.
One from this afternoon, using some fabric conditioner this time (Co-operative 'Pure and Gentle' brand!) which gave a completely different effect from the soap I used yesterday.

119 Pictures in 2019 - #91: Soap
I used a reversing ring with my kit lens to get this macro shot of soap bubbles.
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!

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.
