Oh my God. What a fantastic picture. How on earth do you take a picture like that. Hope you don't mind but I am going to have a go at that!

Amazing.

Thank you Jeanette , I am glad you like the image. Plenty of fun went into making these ones.
Have a go at them, you will enjoy making them and as you start discovering different ways of bringing colours and patterns into them the more fun you will have .
We need a BubbleBabe around here in the pentax forum , somehow BubbleMan doesn't have the same punch as BubbleBabe .

Its improvement Jack, and hours of frustration trying to get them right
It pays off now . At first it was just a struggle to get something out of it, anything. But now I can come up with anything at anytime, its getting it better and better that is a struggle now .
Still a long long way to go . I just feel its not there yet, but certainly an improvement from the first ones
Thank you for your kind comment, really appreciate it

Amin, the second thing I most admire, behind this excellent image, are your tenacity and obsession in reach the perfection!

Do you have a “partenaire” helping with making the bobbles?

Best regards.
Dirk Trotteyn.

Thank you Dirk, I am pleased that you all really like the image. Its been great fun making them.

I lock myself alone in the workshop in order to create these images and blow these bubbles. It can be pretty frustrating at times trying to achieve the best results, and I wouldn't put anyone through it along with me. I do spend hours on a row sometimes getting the lighting and the angles and intensity of lighting correct, and also various mixtures as they all give different patterns. The viscosity of the fluid also has an effect on the colours and patterns. A lot of trials and errors goes into this.

Many thanks for your kind comments

I like this bubble ,especially with the reflection in it

But, you should cloe off that white line in the top of the pic so it gets black as the rest and you should straighten the bubble or maby draw that line in the bottom of the bubble more straight to the dark.

Good job

Amin,

You may have to kep your Bubbleman title for a while yet! BubbleBabe is quite a way off yet. Had my first attempts tonight! Absolutely no idea what I'm doing! Did at least manage to get a picture where you could see the bubble but that was about it! This might be a bit too advanced for me yet.
