One of my photographic passions is soap bubbles! I believe they are incredibly fascinating to explore. Each bubble is unique and within each bubble you can discover familiar shapes and even faces.
There are two presentations of a soap bubble image, a Sphere and a Landscape. To understand what I mean, you need to understand how I photograph a bubble. I begin by making my own soap bubble solution which is comprised of water, glycerine, dish soap and corn syrup. I blow the bubble on a plate surface, where actually the bubble shape is not a full globe bubble, is a dome bubble.
I photograph the bubble using a RAW file format. I speak more about camera file formats on my PHOTOGRAPY BLOG. Once I am done photographing the bubble, I import my images into Adobe Photoshop.
In Adobe Photoshop, the only effects I use are sharpening and contrast. Some images I have removed the colors and present the photograph as a black and white.
The Sphere bubble (remember they are a dome bubble) is duplicated and 1 image is flipped vertically and both sides are sewn together. The image is then rotated 90 degrees and wallah, you have an oval sphere bubble!
The Landscape bubble is a close up of the swirling colors within the dome bubble.
Take a look though the images and stay tuned for my first Soap Bubble Photography Coffee Table Book!
