The Life Of A Soap Bubble

A few observations:

• The thinning of the bubble surface (assumption based on colors disappearing) happens fairly quick, in a few seconds, although its disintegration takes quite a while – probably around 25 seconds or so.
• I assume that degradation of the soap bubble happens due to thinning of the surface – you can see dark spots appearing quite early in the video, and then changing location for quite some time
• Two Speedlites at 1/64 power have been used, consistently across each shot
• Note how light is reflected less and less as the soap bubble gets older
• Based on hundreds of frames captured with this capture and others I can say that the surface is in continuous movement, even if this was shot indoors with no obvious currents of air
• As the soap bubble gets older it moves slightly from left to right. Interestingly enough, size doesn’t seem to change throughout its duration
• The burst of the soap bubble is not captured in the frames – I actually doubt that I could have captured it since at that time it reflected very little light
