I take soap bubble photography to the next level! This is the image of a Jelly Fish on 2 soap bubbles (one inside the other). To create the image I prepared soap bubble solution and inflated a bubble inside a larger bubble. The image itself is created by using a round desk lamp with an LED bulb and diffusing the light with a sheet of tracing paper. The lamp creates the "head" of the jelly fish. For the body I cut out the shape of the body on white paper and taped it to the side of the lamp. The image is a reflection of the lamp and the "body" on the surface of the 2 bubbles. It's the same image reflected on the surface of each of the soap bubbles. I took 2 photos of the same composition, focusing first on the image on the outer bubble and then on the internal bubble. Blended in post. I used an A1ii with a 100-400 GM lens with a 1.4 teleconverter. I used a tripod and no other light other than the lamp itself. Settings are f/22 1/3 sec 358mm and ISO 100. It took me about 20 hours of practice and error to get to this level of soap bubble photography.
