August of 2015 I shot some soap bubbles with the 105mm f4 ais micro (sold the lens recently). Today I revisited the subject and did it three different ways. Had to buy some bubbles, but their viscosity was different than last time. They popped sooner, and changed much quicker. They also displayed a pattern I had never seen before. The reflected light began as a light mauve, then it would slowly separate into bands like the planet Jupiter, and finally the wild mixing stuff would appear - which is what i was after. Here are one from each approach.
