Just 1 frontal softbox (from slightly above the camera), and a few tries as you can imagine, mainly due to the narrow depth of field and manual focus on a very ephemeral subject.
It also just made it to 1x.com, along with a batch of 2 other photos of mine, that's a good week's start :-)

However there are many genres in which I did not produce any decent photo so far (and will likely never in several of them):
- Street photography
- City architecture
- Impressionism
- Wildlife
- Documentary
etc.
Moreover, I'm well aware that some dislike very much the style of work I do for various reasons, so "excel" is always subjective word. But thanks a lot anyway, I am always very thrilled when my work is appreciated :-)

Christophe I don't want to sound too mawkish but you are really the only photographer I've seen here on dpchallenge who consistently (and spectacularly) excel across all genres. Congratulations for the nth time! :D
Please try to find one thing that you can't shoot exceptionally well and tell me about it. You don't have to shoot it to prove it to me... just try to find one thing...
Congratulations - yeah, the 60's are back and psychedelic is in again ...(yep, I am an old hippy) I hope you explain how you did this, it's just an amazing shot. The patterns and colors explode on the screen.
Psychedelic!! Fantastic colors and patterns. I know how fidgety soap bubble are - must've been hard work getting to focus on one at such close quarters. My top3. I hope you ribbon.
