If At First You Don’t Succeed

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." - Unknown

 

Boy, was this ever a challenge for me. For a few weeks now I have been thinking about, researching and practicing how to photograph frozen soap bubbles. It is an activity that can frustrate you big time or get you thinking hard about how to resolve problems. I failed so many times but I was determined to figure it out. To make things more challenging, I was dependent on the weather. I needed to have cold enough temps which we haven't had much of this winter. When the temps did dip down to -12, I was so lucky to get the sun in my favour. It is what created the light in this image and it brought out the colours in the ice crystals. I shot this from my front porch which means I could sneak into the house from time to time to warm up my fingers and check my images before going out again. I am sure my neighbours think I've gone nuts or that I am spying on them with my camera! For me, this was a fun challenge that I could do at home.
