A small open water area reflects the morning sky colours and the mud hills of the freezing Coppermine River, south of Kugluktuk, Nunavut in late October.
I hunt for ice in several places in the Ottawa area and I find different textures, forms and natural designs in all of them. This one place in particular is in a little country road and this is the place I find ice prints and ice in mud. I always get some interesting graphics there.
A recent attempt at experimental freezing soap bubble photography produced this image: a colourful play from different lights offer up a subtle combination of colours in the central branches and a more vibrant display along the outer edges. This art is part nature, part photographer!
I can’t take credit for the patterns that show up in freezing bubbles, but I can control them to some degree. Every time I post one of these I always share my bubble recipe of 6 parts water, 2 parts dish soap and 1 part white corn syrup… but there is a fourth ingredient: dust or snow or both. Something to cause the bubble to nucleate around, forming many more “starting points” for the bubble!
This creates a more “snowflake” like pattern rather than a “fern frond” pattern. Adding a lump of snow to your bubble mixture will lower its temperature and make it freeze faster… but what if all the pieces of ice do not completely melt? They’ll immediately start re-freezing as they float around the bubble. I usually mix up a large batch of bubble fluid at the beginning of winter and as it starts to collect dust I get a similar effect without adding snow into the mix. Either way, you get something like this: many floating, swirling snowflake-like bits of frost that eventually settle into a solid form. This image shows the moment right before all of the major pieces connected.
Three lights were used: blue, red and yellow. The blue was primary and the red and yellow were added just as accents, adding a bit of diversity to the subject. This was shot on a Lumix G9 with the Leica 45mm macro lens, one of my absolute favourite combinations of equipment for this type of subject: amazing quality pixels plus fast shooting allows me to capture the precise moment that I found the most interesting. It was edited in ON1 Photo RAW and Photoshop, each to their strengths. The details in the growing crystals would not have been possible without the “structure” slider that ON1 offers. Both Panasonic and ON1 are sponsors of mine, and that’s for good reason – they allow me to make the best possible images.
Every one of my snowflake images posted this season have been enhanced using the structure slider that ON1 has offered, and I’ve been shooting heavily this season on Lumix cameras – photos like this are the result. I feel like my work is improving year on year, and there are so many more ideas to explore. Many of them are difficult if not impossible… so you won’t see every result… but this one was worth showcasing.
These images are very chaotic in nature. If you carefully position the lights to get a pleasing effect on a completely frozen bubble and hope that the next one will behave similarly, you’d be mistaken! It’s very difficult to get things dialed in because the diameter of each bubble is different so all the resulting shapes are at different angles. As you can see by the build-up of bubble residue on the Christmas tree branch, this was not the first bubble blown in exactly this location – and it wasn’t the last!
Come tutti gli anni, siamo giunti all'infame periodo in cui qui nella bassa Padana si inizia a boccheggiare pesantemente! Cercando un pò di frescura almeno virtuale, vi mostro uno scatto dello scorso autunno preso durante una gelida mattinata nel parco naturale di Assiniboine
As usual, we have come to the infamous period in which here in the low Po Valley begins to boil heavily! Looking for a bit of cool at least virtual, I show you a picture taken last fall during cold morning in the natural park of Assiniboine

Ramona was tough enough to walk into the freezing cold water of the Eibsee.

My first attempt at photographing frozen soap bubbles.
Most photos you see of this kind of thing are taken at around -15 degrees or colder.
The coldest it got on this morning was -4 (Celsius) and it doesn't get much colder than that here.
I'm no means an expert on the subject, but from what I could work out was that the air temp. wasn't cold enough to freeze my bubbles but instead they seemed to freeze from the contact point upwards, in this case a metal park bench (it looks that way in the photo anyway).
I think this is why I couldn't get full round bubbles to freeze on the grass.
Consequently, this makes completely different ice patterns on the bubble.
One advantage though... in minus 15 or colder, the bubbles freeze really fast whereas in minus 4 they were taking around 15 mins to get to this stage... which meant I had the time to take enough images for a focus stack without changes to the ice patterns.
Taken at Clare South Australia.
23 images handheld at 1x with the mpe65 lens and focus stacked using Zerene.
