abstract in macro

For Macro Mondays 28DEC15: Redux 2015--My Favorite Theme of the Year. This is for the Abstract in Macro theme.

 

These bubbles formed after leaving cold water in a small flat bottle. As the water warmed to room temperature, nitrogen and oxygen slowly came out of solution, with tiny bubbles forming and coalescing at sites of microscopic imperfections on the glass (www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-bubbles-form-if-a/). I put white tissue paper about 6 inches behind the bottle and backlit with a flashlight. This was shot at 1:1 and slightly cropped.

 

Thanks for viewing and Happy Final Macro Monday of 2015!
