Well I was just a nipper during the biggest party on the Planet. Saw many a lava lamp and Kaleidoscope Disco Wall though. Taking a closer look at the surface of a detergent bubble......

Cheers,
Mark

Works for me, I think that's a great image.

Cheers all. Gear used - Canon 5DMkII with MPE-65mm @ 2:1 extension. The pattern was achieved by lighting the bubble with a small desktop lamp, the 'gasses' only visible in that reflected area. This represents about 75% of the original image after the cropping out of the dark corners etc. Saturation boosted to 5% and unsharp mask : Amount 83% Radius @ 18% Threshold @ 13%

Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks for the info. Fascinating and cool. Any way to set it up so the whole thing is in focus?

Hi tmcman,
I was using the bubbles directly to get the imagery. Due to the curvature and the fact that I was using the MPE65mm at 2:1 meant there had to be a trade off for the focus plane. I would imagine if you used a square rim and held that against the light you would get this effect too but I feel it is the curvature that allows the dynamic flow and therefore patters of the oils to form. Maybe I could go 3:1 or higher to increase the in focus region.

Cheers,
Mark.
