From the day I'd first seen a soap bubble planet (if I remember correctly, it even was a photo I saw in the MM pool for our previous "Soap" theme), I knew I wanted to give it a try myself. No sooner said than done :) I've already tried to photograph frozen bubbles, so I was aware of the fact that it's a little tricky to get the right soap/water solution to make a bubble as stable and long lasting as possible. It took me a while to find the right setup for the bubble and the best camera settings, but once I'd figured it out it was such fun – pretty messy fun, I should add –, and in the end I picked four images out of literally hundreds, and I still found it hard to choose only one photo.

Here are the links to two very useful tutorials where you can find great tips regarding the creation of stable bubbles, interesting bubble patterns and also camera settings:

Manual settings work best for this, because the surface of the bubble will be in constant motion, so you'll need a very fast shutter speed to get a sharp image (and don't forget about the ISO settings, higher ISO helps tremendously! Why I am mentioning this? Because I almost always forget about the ISO settings, something I should definitely change). I've created my amazingly long lasting bubble inside the base of an eggcup (4,5 cm / 1,77 inches in diameter). If you blow at the bubble (with the straw you've used for creating the the bubble) ever so carefully, the most beautiful patterns and swirls will appear. So let the fun begin :)

HMM, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
