Coronavirus might mean you can't go out, but by using just a single speedlite, a macro lens and some soap bubbles, you can make some extraordinary, psychedelic images at home.
In this week's video, I show you the tips and tricks you'll need to do your own at home macro bubble photography, including how to edit the shots in Lightroom to really make them stand out.

Who wants to try this?

@mungojerry990 4 года назад

I watched this and your other video on macro photography and you are brilliant, easy to understand and incredibly informative. I shall be working my way through your other videos. You gained a sub. Thanks for doing the videos.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 года назад

Thanks so much, that's really nice of you to say! A pleasure to have you on board!

@GrollerG 4 года назад

I will definitely try it.

To help with your focus, use a smaller dish. I turn a teacup upside down and fill the recess with liquid. If you’re careful, you can get a fairly consistent bubble size and your focus stays good throughout a shoot.

I love this! It’s so clever and the effects are mesmerising

The music and the intro video is really soothing, I love it

I was so inspired by this video I went straight to Amazon to buy a set of extension tubes to be able to focus close enough to do this. Best £33 I have ever spent! A little ingenuity on the dining room table, including making my own soft light and voila some amazing photos. Thankyou!

Thanks so much for watching, Tim and really pleased to hear you've been getting good results!

Where did you position your flash? I didn't see it in the video and didn't see it fire off. Great video, thank you!

Great Channel, Helpful And Informative. Very Well Presented. Many Thanks For Sharing Andrew.

Thank you for first of all making this with little equipment as possible, other videos use more than just 3 things(light, camera, tripod) but I like how you had the set up. I have been trying this already for 2 days and getting better results than when I first started. I would have liked to know your settings though during your shots and was glad to get some while editing the pictures. Thank you for posting your video.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 года назад

Thanks Ester! You can see some settings in the edit process but you're right, it'd be better to make it clearer when I take the shot. I'll keep that in mind!

Catching up with some videos I missed... Lovely photos Andrew!

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 года назад

Glad you like them!

Hello love your videos can I ask what speed light and soft box are you using

@ChristianL93 3 года назад

I really want to try this but I will not go out and invest in light equipment like you have. Can i do it in front of a window on a sonny say perhaps, and that way use natural light as the light source?

@Oamaruastro 4 года назад

So how do you prevent the bubbles from reflecting you, your lights, the room, etc?

@methodical100 4 года назад

I found the perfect mixture and it doesnt look horrible like that one lol.. double if you want more. 50 mls of glycerin 6 tea spoons of dish soap 2 tea spoons of corn syrup.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 4 года назад

Nice! Mine not only looks horrible but tastes horrible too...

@ashstubbings2603 2 года назад

Hi Andrew, I tried this a few years ago, and found that Glycerine in the bubble mixture works quite well too, but I'm going to try your idea too.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 2 года назад

Glycerine works great and in my most recent version of this (a video I posted a few weeks ago) I relied more heavily on glycerine, although I did still use a touch of cooking oil as I found it adds to the swirl effect. Good luck!

@raysanders332 Год назад

How do you get the colors in your bubbles, mine are all clear?

@halshaater 3 года назад

awesome work dude

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 3 года назад

Thanks buddy!

@prsearls 3 года назад

Interesting effect. I like your comments on LR processing; most videos on this type of macro skip over this part.

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, Paul!

@prsearls 3 года назад

I shot this over the past couple days. It was very easy; I used a medium sized soft box. Last night, my granddaughter shot some for her phone. It’s a lot of fun and fascinating to see how the colors and swirls develop and change. My mixture was a pint of water, 2 tablespoons of Dawn dishwashing liquid and 2 tablespoons of glycerin. The bubbles “lived” 3 to 4 minutes.
