Looks gorgeous Chavezshutter , thanks for sharing it, have you edited the image in Photoshop too ?

I can’t really say much here apart that is very well done image.


However I saw the focus is only in the middle of the frame, maybe if you could have bigger aperture, that might help to get more depth and details ?

Thank you very much. No Photoshop on this one. The original photo had sharper edges on the outside but did a blur to the outer edge, just trying out edit styles (and it kinda hides the clip i foolishly left in view on the left side of the image, lol). Here is the same picture without blur..Thanks once again.

I have many versions of these, I have been trying to find a style with these images. The ones with normal light are also very cool. I think i also like the sharper version too LOL.

The bubble refraction is the same trick as getting a drop refraction;

I place a glass tray with a little bubble and water solution hanging over the ledge a low table with enough clearance to place a daisy underneath (if using coloured LEDs like in this image I prefer daisies with paler petal ends to pick up the LED's colour better), the distance to the daisy needs to vary depending on the size of the daisy(or any flat-ish flower preferably with contrasting center and petals. Gerboras are amazing too) and how perfectly you want to fill the bubble with the daisy, for a flower about 5cm diameter across I find about 20 cm about right but you will have to experiment. You get your focus with normal light and then you must reduce all surrounding light and only light the flower beneath with a coloured LED. 6 second shutter speed for me to get the right exposure and soak up as much colour from the LED. In this case I used a higher F stop, I am just beginning to do focus stacks so maybe that will push it to the next level. Thank you once again for your comment, much appreciated
