The colour background has a major influence on the patterns you see.

Very nice, great effect, James. Had a quick look at the technique - looks like fun, will give that a go at some point.

Re: Macro shot of thin soap film interference

I used one third water, one third glycerine and one third squeezy. I was surprised to find some soap films lasting well,over five minutes. As the film thins then the effect moves and changes - glancing light off the surface of the film worked best for me.
Post up your results when you get some.
