Bubbles, bubbles, they do stream
Tiny bubbles, filled with dreams
Flowing fast, flowing slow
Past the trees, watch them go
Under skies stretching high
Bubbles leap, bubbles fly
Filled with hopes, wild dreams
Into the future the bubble streams
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's day
I like the fact that the bubbles are both the same colour and that the reflections are similar. I shot this early this morning out in a wide open space, yet close enough to a dark hedge (need a dark background). Nice to get strong green reflections in a blue bubble too!
You can actually see the early morning clouds more clearly in the small bubble, which is quite strange. The different sized bubbles tend to pick up the light differently. To me, it seems random how they do this, in that sometimes a small bubble will be darker than the large bubble and sometimes it will be brighter. There's no doubt some theory that could explain this.
The strangeness of these reflections actually reward some close viewing. Spend a while in there! Have a wander!
I was going to name this bubble 'Clean', because it's so clean. Lots of times when you blow a bubble inside a bubble, bits stick to the side, or tiny bubbles of different colours get stuck between the larger bubbles. They're nice in their own way, but it's also sweet to get a more simple and minimalist shot like this one.
In the main square of Ibiza.after a protest against Oil rigs around the island. Waited for a capture like this one. A fun shot!
Thousands of air bubbles caught in thick ice when viewed closeup reveal a different world, cold and alien to the one we know.
I discovered a deep and fundamental truth. Photographing soap bubbles is more fun than washing dishes with them.
I often adjust light and colours in shots to give a bit more 'punch', but I thought I'd touch base as it were, and just upload this fresh for my 'SOOC Bubbles' set (SOOC = Straight Out Of the Camera = no editing). Not even a crop. One for the purists! For anyone interested in taking bubble shots, you can see here that I underexpose a little to help get some dof (depth of field) on shutter priority.
Something to do on a boring day: put soap in a glass, place a pretty object in the bottom, use the light of the window, hand hold because of the awkward position, then take a lot of shots to get one sharp.

By the way, Lightning in my previous photo was adopted, I'm happy to say.
Bubbles are created when something positive is happening. People get over-enthusiastic about it and take the tide higher than it should go. The reality is bubbles are required to create change.
This is an image from earlier this year that I have re-edited. I used a bubble machine in the garden. The coloured bubbles are the result of reflections from the garden greenery and flowers.
