Smaller wands tended to produce streams of little bubbles which were (a) difficult to burst and (b) cluttered up the final shot. I found this to be ideal for blowing one or two medium-to-large size bubbles, that stayed in the air long enough to capture them being burst. I have previously used a kids’ bubble toy set (purchased for around £1) that came with a bubble wand of around 5cm (2 inches) in diameter. Additionally, the composition of your shot can really benefit from using larger bubbles – you should be able to get a frame-filling shot of a bubble bursting without the need to crop. Larger soap bubbles will be easier for you to focus on than small bubbles, and they will also be easier to burst. I hope that they will be of help to you when capturing a bursting bubble. If you do decide to take up this high-speed challenge, here are some things that I learned along the way. I would definitely recommend this challenge to anyone, particularly if you may be in need of a creative boost or maybe need to rediscover your passion for photography. I have included some of these shots here but there are many more on my website at the link shown below in my bio. One of the shots has even been included in an international exhibition for scientific images. With my motivation fully restored, I progressed further and attempted to capture a sequence of shots to show the entire process of a bubble collapsing. A photograph had changed their view of the world simply by freezing a single moment of time and I was reminded just how powerful photography can be. Friends and family who saw the photograph showed surprise and commented that they, like me, had assumed that a bubble just disappeared when popped. The bubble was collapsing in on itself in mid-air.
By freezing a moment, the photograph showed something that could not normally be seen by the human eye – a soap bubble with one half completely intact and the other half made up of separate swirls of liquid. The challenge was lengthy and often frustrating, but when I did successfully take a photograph of a bursting bubble, it was incredibly satisfying. I did, however, become determined to capture a bubble in mid-burst using only equipment I already owned – my DSLR, various lenses and a flashgun (speedlight). After some internet research, I came to the conclusion pretty quickly that I did not have the necessary budget for a super slow-motion camera to achieve this. I decided that I was going to capture the exact moment of a bubble being burst. So, when going through a bit of a creative lull a couple of years ago, I felt that I needed to set myself a challenge to restore my motivation. By freezing time in this way, a photograph can show something that may not normally be seen in day-to-day life, and can make an ordinary subject extraordinary. I have always loved the idea of photography as being a way of taking an instant out of time, and preserving that moment forever.
