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.

I always wanted to take a photo of my girls inside a bubble and I took advantage of to put inside them all their friends.

  

PD: Poor Kurimu! I hadn't realize that she wasn't in any photo this year. I'm a bad mom (I don't want to look how much time have passed since I took the last photograph of some of my girls XD)

Housing Bubble

 

You've all heard of 'The Housing Bubble', but have you ever SEEN one?

 

This is great fun, difficult to do if there's the slightest breeze, frustrating at times and, above all, full of surprises! I had expected to see a soap bubble full of flowers, but instead ended up with a soap bubble with a distorted double reflection of the front of my house! (see the large version) The daisies are Osteospermum.

Trying out a couple different takes on frozen bubbles

For Macro Mondays- I only darkened the outside so the ball was the brightest part, Black & White version on my page. Explored: 6/28/16

The famous methane bubbles of Abraham Lake.

 

I make a yearly pilgrimage to this spot, which is one of the best places to see the bubbles in the Rockies due to the incredibly windy nature of the region that blows all of the snow off the ice. Case in point: the winds were about 60km/h when we were out shooting this sunset, and were strong enough that if you put down your tripod and let go, it would slide in a mad dash away from you across the ice!

 

The bubbles themselves are methane from plant life on the lake floor that gets frozen on its way towards the surface. They are absolutely fascinating, and I easily spend hours shooting on every visit!

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

Reflection of the landscape in a bubble gives a fisheye appearance. The colors come from the oils on the bubble surface.

In the spirit of mutual learning....

 

It seems accidents are my best teachers.

During my post processing of this bubble I noticed that the sky tones had become faintly banded. Not wanting this look usually, I was about to go back and attempt to correct it. But I paused...and saw how the banded lines echoed the swirling patterns of the bubble...and thought 'hmmmm...'

 

So here's what I can remember (sortof):

 

Canon SX10is

f5.6; 1/500; ISO 200.

 

1. Once open in PSE9 I could see it was pretty noisy. I didn't want to apply a low noise filter to the whole thing...as it would take out too much detail from the bubble...So using the quick selection tool at about 50% I selected only the sky and made a new layer from this selection (layer1).

2. On layer1 (just the sky) I think I applied a Gaussian Blur filter. It was still a bit noisy and I applied a Surface Blur filter. (Both found under filters>blur). At this stage in PSE9 I thought it looked ok and moved on. But later I saw that it was HERE that the two filters combined to make the swirly banded designs... faint but still visible.

3. Some of the filter processing from 2. drifted onto the bubble ...so I used the eraser at a low % to clean this up.

4. I went back to the original layer (the background layer) and selected just the bubble and made a new layer from this selection (layer2).

5. On the bubble (layer2) I used Enhance>Adjust Colour<Adjust Colour Curves...random playing around until I got an effect that I liked. This also gave the bubble a warm tone. So...

6. I went into layer1 (the sky) and applied a warming filter to make it look more natural with the bubble.

7. Back to the bubble layer...I made another layer from this (layer2 copy) and used dodge&burn to work it a bit more. The outer edge of the circle had become too dark so I dodge this back too. Every layer I use the transparency slider to adjust the amount of change I want to apply.

8. Sometime around here I saw the banded swirls in the sky...

Decided to try and enhance them and see what happened.

From the sky (layer1) I copied another layer (layer1 copy).

9. On layer1copy I used Enhance<Adjust Lighting<Shadows/Highlights & also Brightness/Contrast to make the swirls stand out more. They did!! A bit too much ;-) Some areas were too dark....and I thought it a bit too uniform. Soooo...

10. I used the dodge tool to lighten the dark areas (quite a lot) and then I used the Eraser to softly take out and tone back some large areas of marbling....especially just around the sphere.

 

One of the interesting things about the swirly banding is that every time I've tried to recreate it, it's come out differently...

 

Whew! Thats about it....and you probably prefer the original anyway ;-)

The theme for this week's Macro Monday is bubbles and my intention was to take part in it. But it seems my dog had other ideas :)) By the time I got out my macro lens, the bubbles had dog gone disappeared :)) HMM and thank you for all dear Flickr friends!

   

This is the origin photo for Bubbles 1 processed without using 'filters'. The bubbles are formed by the waterfall on the fishpond in our garden.
