Air bubbles trapped in ice

My nieces pug named Bubbles

Better bigger! I love the clouds refracted in the bubbles.

I will try to catch up on here tonight. I've got hideous conjunctivitis (again) which is making it difficult to look at the computer for too long but the drops are starting to work now.

Bubbles in meditation.

This was a shot of two bubbles right before they merged together. The shape looks like a person sits in meditation, while swirling his/her thumbs. Or any thing you imagine.

These bubbles were really hard to get.

As soon as the the wave deposited its treasure of bubbles onto beach and returned to the sea, I would rush over to the foamy edge, not unlike a sandpiper, locate a good sized bunch of bubbles, aim and focus the camera only to have the bubbles dissolve into the sand before my eyes.

But, I was very determined and stuck with it and finely got these bubbles from the sea.

Captured Monday evening at sunset at the Delaware State Seashore State Park with iPhone edited on the iPad in Snapseed.

Only used the macro focus setting in the app for this one. The bubbles would just not last long enough for me to focus on them using the Olloclip.

Still traveling, I will add/fix any tags I missed etc. when I return.

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.

My daughter was blowing soap bubbles and I happened to shoot this one. Can you spot her? Explored June 24, 2010 #5.

Do you remember when I woke up in that memory?

I remember you, waking up in a memory.

I finally caugt one doing it... thanks to Lord V for the reference pics ^_^

Blown by the wind from a massive star, this interstellar apparition has a surprisingly familiar shape. Cataloged as NGC 7635, it is also known simply as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 10 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work.

Bubble's center is a hot, O star, several hundred thousand times more luminous and around 45 times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The intriguing Bubble Nebula and associated cloud complex lie a mere 11,000 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia. This tantalizing view of the cosmic bubble is composed from narrowband image data, recording emission from the region's ionized hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Macro Monday - "My Daily Routine"

I love taking pictures of bubbles and enjoy the challenge of doing that. Having a shower is part of my daily routine so that gave me the perfect opportunity to do another bubble macro for Macro Monday. I was also in part inspired by a previous challenge I did for Macro Monday back in 2013 (picture in comments). Today's picture is of a soap bubble emerging from a travel sized shower gel bottle from Lush.

I've finally got both my new macro extension tubes from Santa (OK Amazon). So time to hide in the kitchen and take photos of odd things. Tonight's experiment was bubbles (my wife really won't understand this!)

All my kitchen project photos are in this album:-

Thanks for the pose ladies! I love where the Space Needle ended up on this one (I wasn't trying to put it there!)

Fremont Fair Summer Solstice Celebration

2nd January 2011

You have no idea how good my intentions were when I got out of bed this morning.

I knew I had to work for a couple of hours around 10am, but then I figured that gave me the day ahead to get out there and capture a work of art that the Royal Photographic Society would be proud of. (Ok, so I like to dream a little, but you’ve got to aim high right?)

What I didn’t count on was the weather. Yeah yeah I know, lame excuse, the weather can be a photographers friend ‘n’ all that, but today can only be described as grey. Not a glimpse of sunshine to allow me to capture the new years smile on peoples faces. Not a drop of rain to form puddles to allow me to capture reflections. No fog to form an eerie mist over the roof tops. No black scary looking storm clouds forming menacingly overhead. Getting the picture? It was just grey.

So having wandered around aimlessly for a while, I came back home and took up residence on my much loved sofa whilst I took stock of my situation and tried to come up with a Plan B, with a little help from a Gin & Tonic. (Slimline tonic of course, as per one of my many resolutions for 2011!)

I was having a fiddle with my camera and accidently fired the shutter whilst putting it down on the table. When I checked the view finder I saw that it had caught part of my glass and that the light had clung to the fizzy bubbles of the tonic.

Quickly, I grabbed my trusty 105mm lens, moved in close to the bottle of tonic, and hey presto, here’s the result. Who says inspiration can’t be found at the bottom of a glass!

Playing with vintage lens (Jupiter 8) Love the Bubble Bokeh on this one :)

Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.
