A selection from my vintage foreign soap collection. This set includes two Lancome soaps (one with the Pan Am logo)
interesting combination of items at the Museum of Memories, a fascinating museum at the end of the pier at Weston-super-Mare. Mostly biscuits here but also some soap, starch and candles. The name Peek Frean jogs the memory a little from a while back.

A macro of soap bubbles (more accurately foam I think) processed through Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro. The photos were taken in my DIY light box. I noticed some rather unusual bubbles on a brush used to clean a blender in which a protein shake had been made. The brush had been in the sink for some time and the bubbles were still formed so i decided to do some macro photography. The second photo is not a macro that gives a better idea of the clump of bubbles.
Finally - A solution to my packaging woes. I like the fully closed boxes for ease of labelling but the open box allows my soap to continue getting air but leaves little label room. Here's my solution. I think it works!
One of the endless varieties of this type of photography. Each one is unique and changing while you take the exposure.
Even the soap mixture makes a difference.
These are a bit samey so this is the last of these for a while.
This is how I do these soap bubble shots.
I have a piece of curved perpex (I bought a flat sheet and bent it in the bath by pouring boiling water onto it) which I covered in tissue paper. A domed light tent basically.
I have 2 flashguns either side.
I blow the bubbles in from under the side of the perspex using a tube.
I made a loop in a pipe cleaner about 1 cm across. Then I wrapped it around the end of the tube and angled it up and then down. This allows it to catch a good amount of bubble fluid and because of the downward angle of the pipe cleaner it means gravity can still feed the loop even if the blow pipe is angled upwards. This lets me blow large/lots of bubbles. Using just a tube I found I could only blow small or very few bubbles at a time.
Back to shooting soap again! This time I used undiluted washing up liquid in a tiny frame (a child's 'bubble wand'). The inner circle (which contains the soap) measures 18mm but this is a tiny area inside.
The patterns and colours are natural apart from being brightened in Photoshop. There are another two shots in the Comments.

This soap has layers of white soap and soap bananas, blueberries, and strawberries. This is my first batch, so I will do a few things different next time, but overall I'm happy with it. I just need a good fragrance that matches the theme - for this batch I used Vanilla.
This picture is all about the reflections caught in it than the soap bubble itself. Enjoy the pleasure of figuring it out. :)
[IT'S DAY #143 SINCE I STARTED POSTING AT LEAST ONE PICTURE/DAY AND TWO DAYS AGO I MADE EXPLORE TOP 30 :).
I truly hope I can continue posting until I get the whole 365 done. Just 222 days remaining.]
Another short video clip showing some of the varied patterns which arise from soap and water films inside small frames. This is mainly as a response to the questions I've been asked about using this 'soap frame' for photography, to give an idea of the movement of the liquid. The inner circle measures 18mm but different sizes can be used. I would like to find a more attractive frame but this is the only one I have at the moment.
Taken with my trusty little Sony W50 'point and shoot' as my better Sony (A100) doesn't have the movie facility. The quality varies as the camera (on a tripod) is trying to focus, but it will give an idea of what's happening in real time.
I apologise for the irritating clicks - I don't have any way to mute the sound. Probably a good idea to turn your volume down before watching ;-)
