[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With the weather so poor (sleet and hail) I have been photographing indoors. These are washing up bubbles.

The colours and shapes are not easy to photograph. You have to get in very close (I used my macro lens with a raynox lens as well to get really close). You need a fairly good shutter speed as the bubble patterns move but you also need to consider DOF as they are round shapes. You can't use too much light as lamps and light sources make the bubbles burst. I put the ISO up as much as I could but would still have preferred more DOF and shutter speed.

Hello Karan
Its amazing how we have to find things to photograph when nature does not permit it.
You have very modern art results.
Nice work

Hi Karan,
Very creative experiment in photography here. The colours are lovely and I like your idea of a collage instead of just one.
