Bubble Film (macro magic)
Macro (close-up) shot of bubble film. Pretty eh!
This is all about lighting. I have a powerful flash unit, and I bounce the light off white paper to diffuse the light. I'd love to take a photo of my lighting setup to show you how I do it, but I only have one camera.
I had to work through disappointment to get this far. I spent an hour or two getting awful photos today. I then went jogging, and while running I kind of realized what I'd been doing wrong. Nice to get moments of clarity like that!
I love my macro lens. But however close I get, I always wonder what 'a bit closer' would look like. I'd love to get more magnification here.

Wow, this is way cool. It has a scientific feel to it, I could picture this in a physics textbook or something like that. Keep up the great work!

@Sharlini. I used my Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro lens. Great for close-ups!

Printed on silk, these would make amazing scarves, ties, sarongs... even wrapping paper! You could make a bundle and buy yourself a 2nd camera! :)
