We’ve featured a lot of really neat photos on Neatorama, but I think this one is definitely in the top 10. Here’s a photo by Richard Heeks of a soap bubble bursting:

The lighting of this shot is natural – sunlight through cloud. The Nikon D90 is great for giving clear images at high ISO (here ISO 800); making this shot possible.

N.B. This is a real photo of a soap bubble bursting. I’ve made slight edits to raise colour and light, but this is just to add some punch. This is not a Photoshop creation!

    Gorgeous! I don't care if it's viral marketing or not, there's some astonishing physics caught in these shots; everything from surface tension to optics.

    It's amazing to actually be able to capture that shot. I mean it takes less than half a second for a bubble to burst, and the photographer manages to take it in "half-burst" position. Great photography!

    Awesome! To me the little sharp looking droplets makes me imagine them as some futuristic flechette based weapon.

    If you have the capability to take shots in rapid secession you are bound to catch something cool.
