I would tell anyone thinking of taking LSD to take a look at your photos....it's time better spent with the same results! These are awesome! Incredible!

Great stuff. I really like the 6th shot best. The last one if you cropped it, do you have it without cutting off the ripple?

Wow!! Any chance you're gonna let us in on the secret to #5, how did you get that drop in the bubble?

Well thanks! Glad you liked it. I wish I did a better job on it now!

No unfortunately, the front of the container blocked the shot.

You should set up a video camera showing you at shooting these.
I'd watch it all day.

Believe it or not getting the bubble in the right spot is the hardest part for me. You can drop several drops of water through a bubble before it will pop.

So, to start with, I set up like I am doing a regular water drop pic. Then I blow a bubble and try to get it to land in the tray of water. I use a piece of paper to gently maneuver the bubble into position. Then I start the water drop process. There is no real trick to it. I would recommend though that you use dawn dish soap to make your bubble mix with. I tried others and they didn't hold their form as well and would pop too soon. You could also add some corn starch to the bubble mix to make it thicker but only use a small amount when you do this.

If you have any other questions let me know and I'll do the best I can to answer them.
