[Can't seem to find the picture on the Explored page though! Any help? :(]
Hardest things to focus even with the lightest puff of breeze! but I just love them. Its my best recreation activity :D
One of the mindless things to do, and just wonder how far, high and fast they go before the bubble bursts. Just like the moments in our lives!
OMG! I can't believe I caught this!
So, there we are having a normal whale watch, when I find a small (two male) competition pod. No big deal, except the female has no interest in the two males fighting over her and decides our little yellow boat is more interesting. So while she's checking us out, her escort (the whale pictured) is still defending his spot next to her. Except WE'RE next to her. His bubble stream is certainly meant for the whale challenging him, but it ends up blasting the bottom of our boat as he passes under. Right place, right time, I suppose!
Dendrites | Soap Bubble Freezing
Today’s subzero temperature (-10°C), calm wind and bright blue clear skies amounted to an irresistible invitation to photograph freezing soap bubbles. Herewith are a series of still images along with a relevant short video I produced 6 years ago showing the growth of dendrites in soap bubbles.
Close-up of a soap bubble.
I bought a big flash unit last week (a Bowens 1000 pro) and I'm now experimenting with it to capture bubble surfaces. This bubble's about to pop, hence the dark circles where the liquid is thinning.
I should maybe try photographing a flat film instead of a sphere, as then I wouldn't have the out of focus areas. I'll try that.................
Although I used my Bowens lamp here, I think the sunlight has provided most of the light here.
Bubble blowers seem to be increasingly common in European cities.
This guy was one of two in the Praça do Comércio (Commerce Square). I had seen the same guy earlier in Rossio Square.
The Isetta is an Italian-designed microcar built under license in a number of different countries, including the UK. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a bubble car, a name also given to other similar vehicles.
In 1957, Isetta of Great Britain began producing Isetta 300 models at their factory in the former Brighton railway works under licence from BMW. The bit I really like about this story is that this car factory had no access by road! All components were delivered by rail and finished cars were shipped out the same way.
As you can see above, the British cars had right-hand drive with the door hinged from the right-hand side of the car, with the steering column moved across to the right as well. Right-hand drive meant that both the driver and the engine were on the same side, so a 27 kg counterweight was added to the left side to compensate.
Dunlop tyres were used, and Lucas electrics replaced the German Hella and Bosch components, with a different headlamp housing being used. Girling brake components replaced the ATE brake parts.
The Isetta was not popular in the UK until a three-wheeled version was introduced. Although three-wheeled vehicles are more prone to rolling over, there was a financial advantage: they could evade automobile legislation and taxation by being classed as three-wheeled motorcycles, and could be driven with a motorcycle licence. In 1962, Isetta of Great Britain stopped production of the little cars but continued to produce the engines until 1964.
The three-wheel vehicle seen above was manufactured in 1961. It is an exhibit in the Science Museum in London.

It is harder than it looks!

115 Pictures in 2015 ... #95. Bubbles
Yet more shots from Glen Orchy. The River Orchy is a beautiful subject for a photographer. Roaring rapids; rocks shaped by glaciers, then reshaped by the river; swirling pockets of bubbles and foam; bowls carved from the rocks, and full of still water. I could have taken HUNDREDS of photos .... oh! I DID!!!

Playing with my grandsons bubble mixture. It was fun blowing the bubbles, putting the mixture down then grabbing the camera before the bubbles popped or blew away!

Failsafe entertainment to always have on standby: bubbles and balloons. The breeze finally died down enough to attempt a photo and has produced a colourful (yet barely processed) version of our new house in the reflection!
