Soap bubbles with coloured refraction from card underneath. I used liquid hand-soap in warm water. Although these images are highly processed in Photoshop CS6 they are also the result of some considerable effort in photographing them. The set-up is quite involved (see shot below) and I had difficult getting the bubbles and refractions from the coloured card right. Because the bubbles from the soap kept dissipating quickly I had to have a plastic tube in my mouth as I shot (no, I'm not posting that shot), the other end was in the water dish, so I could 'blow bubbles' as I shot them. I think it must be winter again! Left click images for on-black view  #1  #2  #3  #4  #5  |

Great color Rob, love the movement as well. #1 and #3 being my favorite but I a curious about the last, is that an added effect I see. It looks quite intricate and I would like to see it bigger.  The all look great on black! |

The all look great on black! The last one uses a fractals filter plugin. You can get it here. It only works well on certain shots - especially those with fine detail. www.redfieldplugins.com/filterFractalius.htm The first three use the Ripples magic plugin, also from Redfield www.redfieldplugins.com/filterRipplesMagic.htm #4 is a straight shot. Yes, they do look very strong on a black background. |

I have used it on a rose bush sometime in the past, it can get pretty wild if over pushed but you have used it well.

Ithink I like #3 and #5 the best...but seriously, I really need to live in the UK. Seems your over-the-counter pharmaceuticals really rock! Haven't seen this kind of color and action since the 60's.

Well Rob, these sure give the colour receptors a work out! I find all of them fascinating and I like #3 in particular. I'm seeing Mrs Punch – as in Punch & Judy – in there. Oh, maybe it's the UK pharmaceuticals kicking in – steroid nasal spray sure is powerful.  |

You just need to get out the Hendrix wig you bought in Woolworth (before they went bust) and raid granny's pill pot, and you are away! |
