The bubble shot is fascinating! It's nice to see a different subject used in macro photography.

What are you using for lighting?

Mike - Thanks! Macro and abstract - a 2 for 1.

Fred - Thanks. Is it that obvious?

Thanks, abchip. For lighting on that bubble photo, I set up next to a window (on a sunny day here in Florida) and also used a reflector.

I do have an off camera flash that I will use at some point in macro shots. But as of now I need to use "live view" to focus properly. And for some reason, I lose live view if I try to use an off camera flash. This is something I know I'll need to figure out/work on soon. Thanks again.
