New Year’s Day was cold and rainy, so I decided to undertake an indoor photo project. I mixed water, cooking oil and a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid in a glass with a clear bottom. I mixed the bubbles with a bamboo skewer. A drinking straw might have produced larger bubbles. I mounted my camera on a tripod with my 60mm macro lens attached. Camera was set to manual focus. I used various colorful textures under the glass. The ones that I like best used brightly patterned pieces of clothing. I lit my shot with a small desk lamp aimed at the fabric. I would have preferred to use my off-camera flash, but I had to send it in to Olympus for repair last week. Here is a link to a comprehensive article detailing how to shoot oil and water bubbles http://www.marcgcphotography.com/oil-and-water-photography-creative-technique-php/ And, here are some of my results–
