Description Water + soap + oil = weird things happening... I just LOVE this!
These tiny soap bubbles are somehow "trapped" in oil which creates this nice "cells" effect.
Of course, it happens with only soap + water but the oil gave them an extra shine here.

This is so awesome! I follow your work since long time ago but just now created a DA and it's such an HONOR to comment here. I love your work, the bubbles set is incredible, and i love your pet rats! They are amazingly cute and you have the magic power to get those cute shots of them <3 Keep on!

Try adding glycerine to the mix. It makes the bubbles last longer. Very cool photos, by the way.

DianePhotos In reply to FutureLens [2010-10-25 19:46:29 +0000 UTC]

I wish I could have added such colors to the yin-yang piece but that wasn't possible due to the angle of the shot (plus such small bubbles only reflect colors for a very short time and this takes way too much time to create )
Thank you!

Wow this is gorgeous. O.o

I thought perhaps it was swarovski crystals of some kind laid out til I read your description. water+soap+oil and some creativity really produces some fantastic work! Well done.

I remember playing with bubbles in little cups, in the summer, with small sticks, but this ... is intense.

Water Soap and oil? is that all? (Obviously you've used skill as well)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DianePhotos In reply to Lucabyte [2010-10-16 14:22:43 +0000 UTC]

That's all indeed
Just some water + dish washing liquid (shower gel or any other liquid soap would work too) + sunflower oil and a small syringe without needle to blow bubbles. A straw would work too I guess.

Thank you
