Gorgeous soap bubbles ! Are these cropped in any way ? If not I love how the bubbles retain their shape right to the edges.
Thank you Frogfish.They were not cropped at all.The secret of getting bubbles is to find an object,preferably close,with well lit background,consisting of many spots of reflected light.It works best wide open or stopped down by 1f stop.
All vintage triplets without or with with older coating are best for it,but also classic 4/3 tessars,like the Primagon 135/3.5 I used,are suitable.
As for the buble shape - if you find good close object-well lit backgorund combination,they come out well defined by themselves.I try to achieve that by just finding optimum combination of light,object and position.
