Bubble

"Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries." - Corita Kent

The moments I spent discovering new things I can do with my camera and my images on this March break week, are what I love. Yesterday, I was joined by a few friends to explore even more possibilities. We tried capturing soap bubbles, oil in water bubbles and corn syrup drops. There were many challenges and I know I need to keep practicing. However, because I love the surprises that come our way and the process of discovery especially with friends, I am motivated to keep practicing.

Nivea sells a shampoo that has bubbles suspended in it. very convenient! I tried quite a few things for this subject, this picture has oil (ascending below the bubble in the middle), sugars, glitter, lipstick and a couple of different shampoos. It was fun.

Water with bubbles from a nearby fountain.

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 26/04/2025 -- Bubbles .

You will have to do with just the two bubbles for the challenge , there was a spirit bubble on the tripod but is always hidden once a camera is mounted .

Anyway , here is a neat little level that fits into the flash hotshoe on top of the camera . With it in this configuration you can check that the camera is not tilting to one side or the other and that you are taking a shot with a level view . Of course if it is wonky horizons you are worried about then most cameras will have a built in indicator available to activate on the rear screen or in the viewfinder !!

Worth it one way or another , nothing so annoying as to see an image that is tilted when it should be straight ( Dutch Angles excepted ) !!

A good friend from a photo site back in the day who was a brilliant photographer always said about how wonky horizons were bad photography which could be easily fixed with post processing being one of the quickest and easiest fixes going - something I have never forgotten D.J. !!

Well a bubble challenge sorted and for a tune to go with it , I wonder how many of you will remember this ----

Des enfants jouent avec des bulles de savon devant l'hôtel de ville de Paris. L'un d'entre eux criait "on est au paradis !!"

Some kids were playing with soap bubbles in Paris. One of them shouted : "we are in paradise !!!".

Another ice globe from my morning experiments yesterday. You can see some beautiful light from the sunrise illuminating the fast freezing bubble.
