Thank you for showing us a simpler yet effective way to capture bubble photography.

Glad it was helpful!

Master at work... when the content exceeds the mere title of the project. I came here to learn macro bubble photography but came away learning so much more. Thank you, sir!

[@CameraClubLive]

Fantastic, thanks for watching.

[@AZJack]

A fun project, thank you!

[@CameraClubLive]

You are so welcome!

I have an OM-1 which if a M4/3 camera. I use the 90mm macro lens which is equivalent to 180 full frame. That gives me a longer working distance and I can actually focus on only the colored part of the bubble. It is a matter of personal choice but I have gotten some very interesting patterns just capturing a rectangular section. You do, of course, lose the "bubble" context. It does, however, allow you to use a somewhat smaller softbox.

Whatever works for you has got to be a win. thanks for watching.

Another great challenge. This will certainly work, as always, thanks to your expert explanation. Thanks

So nice of you

I am always impressed by your lessons. Every video is Oscar worthy. A true master, in every sense 🤓. Many creative ideas explained in a perfect, I would even say academic, way. Unfortunately I have no photography equipment to replicate your teachings.

[@CameraClubLive]

The equipment is not the point. I’m trying to get over the technique. These techniques can be applied regardless of the equipment. Thanks for watching

[@bikalpa1234]

Thank you very much for teaching. Have a nice time.

[@CameraClubLive]

Thank you! You too!

In the absence of a large soft box, could you use a smaller bubble cup to achieve a similar result ? Great tutorial as usual.

[@CameraClubLive]

Yes you could however, there is diminishing returns to this you would have to make the bubble very small. A better way maybe not to inflate the bubble so much that way the shape will be different and so the reflection will be different. thanks for watching.
