Soulex posted:These are phenomenal! Howd you get the colors so crazy? The colors are the easiest part! It's a macro shot. The colors are already there, they're just hard to see with the naked eye. These pics are about a half inch wide - the bumpy black thing in the first picture is part of a pipe cleaner (which holds more soap to keep the soap film intact longer)

 So, what/how is this beautiful deviltry? Thin film interference. How to make soap bubble pictures: Bubbles: Mix up your own bubbles with dish or laundry soap and water, or use kids' blowing bubbles. Make about a half cup. Add a tablespoon or two of glycerin. This makes the bubble last for minutes, rather than seconds. It also slows down the shifting patterns of color a bit. You're not going to blow bubbles, just let them sit there - technically they're soap film, not bubble, pictures. Make a soap film holder from a pipe cleaner or a bit of wire coat hanger with paper towel or cloth or foam around it to hold more soap. Figure out a way to hold the bubble holder up. Camera: DSLR or a point and shoot that can do macro shots. Lens: some way to do macro - you can probably do it without a macro lens, but you're going to lose some detail blowing it up. Most of these pictures were taken with a 50mm lens and 68mm of extension tubes. The first and last were taken with a 18-270mm zoom at 270mm with a Raynox DCR-150 clipon lens (the Raynox gets you 95% of a macro lens for 10% of the price and takes a second to take on and off - get one!) Don't worry about a fast lens, you won't need one because you'll need to set your f-stop high (small aperture) to get a bigger depth of field. Light: either a remote flash or continuous lighting or an aimable desk lamp Optional: a tripod for the camera a tripod or stand for the light A diffuser for the light. If you've got a small soft box, fine, but a piece of printer paper stood off on front of the light source will work too. A focusing rail for the camera. Setup: You've essentially got to bounce the light off the soap film into the lens.  What angle AC is doesn't matter, only that angle AB and BC be equal and that line B is perpendicular to the soap film. Everything (lens, light, soap film) needs to be in the same horizontal plane.  Start out with the light a little bit back because you're going to be moving it around at first. Scoot it in closer once everything gets set up. Get some soap on the holder and set it in place. Now try to get your angles set up. Focus the lens on the soap holder and then angle it down to look at the soap film. You can use a flashlight or smart phone light to get in the ballpark for the angle for the light. Look through the viewfinder. If you see something like this, you're getting close:  Put your light source (and diffuser if you're using one) in the same place and check it by looking through the viewfinder if using light, or taking a picture of you're using a flash. If it looks like this, you've lost the angle, try again:  Getting there:  Just right:  The difference between the light in this picture and the harsh, ragged 'ballpark' picture above is mostly the difference between the LED light on a phone and diffused light. Reload the holder with soap and put it back in the same place. Check again for good reflection. Now set your focus on the edge of the bubble holder, somewhere near the top. If you're using a light, autofocus might work (?) but you'll probably need to use manual focus. Live view might work too, which will ease focusing. Wait and watch. If you're using a flash, take a picture every few seconds. It'll start small and slow  And you'll wonder why you went through all this trouble. This is at about 2 minutes in. Just wait a few more seconds.         And so on. These shots were taken over 4 minutes. The picture will change continuously, and you can also pan around the rest of the bubble to look for different patterns. You'll need to continuously fiddle with the focus, particularly if you're panning around. Advanced technique: Unfortunately, you'll notice you aren't getting good focus across the whole picture. Take a look at the angle of the soap film in comparison to the focal plane of your camera. They're not parallel. That means that parts of the soap film are closer to the camera than other parts, and when you're shooting macro, fractions of a millimeter matter for focus. So how to fix it? In the ABC angle picture, angle AC is about 60°. The more you can shrink that angle, the more of the soap film you can keep in focus. Once you get that angle to zero, you're golden. Unfortunately, because gear takes up space, it'd be hard to get that angle down to 45, let alone 0. You can still get that angle to zero, but you'll need one more piece of equipment.  A sheet of glass. 5x7 inches will be plenty. The glass from a cheap picture frame is perfect.  This setup is where yesterday's and the bookend pics in this post came from. You need to up the light intensity a little, but it gets you that (optically) 0° angle between light and lens. Downside: if you're using extension tubes, you're probably going to run out of working distance because of the space the pane of glass takes up.

My mom was having knee surgery and thanks to a lucky break with my spring trial dates I was able to clear out a little over 3 weeks to take care of my dad, who has some dementia, while she was gone. I flew down a couple days before she left and stayed a couple days after she returned. I had a great time with my dad. According to my Fitbit, my resting pulse usually runs in the low-to-mid 70s. It stayed there until my mom left for her surgery and then dropped into the mid and mid-to-upper 60s while I was with dad. The day mom came back, it popped back up into the low-to-mid 70s and has stayed there. Conclusion:. Dealing with my mom is as stressful as being a public defender.

Syrian Lannister posted:Looking for a critique on these, and what I can do to improve. Soulex really knocked it out of the park with that mini master course. Do everything Soulex said. All I might be able to add is, Use AI Servo for AF (back button focus may affect this, I should switch and learn) Don't shoot with your aperture all the way wide open or all the way stopped down, most lenses will give up some sharpness at the extremes.

The Rat posted:Oof I just got the repair quote back from Olympus for my wide angle lens that was making a rattling sound and having weird issues with the zoom ring. $423. Apparently a small screw came completely loose inside the lens and that's what was making the sound. Will the repair price go up if you try to DIY and fail? (Assuming you don't gouge a lens element or something)
