This is a back-lit image snapped without the benefit of a flash. I am suspicious. I was not aware that there is a light-capture medium sufficiently sensitive (and a shutter sufficiently fast) to capture an event as short as the fragmentation of the soap-bubble at such a low light level. Next, I expect someone will pipe up with an explanation along the lines of CCD's depending on electronic switches and not shutters to operate? Enlighten me. Even if that's the case, there is still the low light level aspect.
Good illustration. The collapse of the soap bubble in your example is only a bit faster than the thrown ball bearing. (The curve of the trajectory of the ball bearing suggests a throw rather than a toss.) Ergo, I stand corrected. Ambient light, sensitive film and a fast shutter speed are all that was needed in the first picture. 8-)
