shot this foto in the morning hours in Germany Bavaria near munich.
For an hour the light was enough and the dewdrops didnt vaporize. :)
At a Jurassic Quest event in the Von Braun Center in Huntsville. The gift shop was selling the bubble wands.
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!
On what should have been a diagram for the visiting 'J27' Class 0-6-0 on the Wensleydale Railway, a DMU substitution was necessary due to the locomotive incurring a broken spring. Class 121 'Bubble Car' 55032, with 'bull horns' up front, forms the 10:45 Leeming Bar to Redmire service near Aiskew on Thursday 9th August 2018.

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!
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.
A frozen bubble the size of a Canadian dime. I like how the light showcases the crystal patterns on the bubble. Also on 500px.
I'm in trouble
made a bubble
peeled it off my nose.
Felt a rock
inside my sock
got gum between my toes.
Made another
told my brother
we could blow a pair.
Give three cheers
now our ears
are sticking to our hair!

Brought my camera to the grocery store today to take advantage of their great lighting. ha ha. We found so many fun benches, though! This was the favorite. Thank you Bench Monday for helping us see the world differently and starting off our week happily!
Plerogyra sinuosa is a jelly-like species of the phylum Cnidaria. It is commonly called "bubble coral" due to its bubbly appearance. The "bubbles" are grape-sized which increase their surface area according to the amount of light available: they are larger during the day, but smaller during the night, when tentacles reach out to capture food. This species requires low light and a gentle water flow. Common names for Plerogyra sinuosa include "grape coral", bladder coral, pearl coral and branching bubble coral. According to the IUCN, Plerogyra Sinuosa is found near the coastlines of India and Australia. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plerogyra_sinuosa)
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.

My granddaughter had a go at this, she couldn't resist the invitation.
It is harder than it looks!

This is a giant bubble blower and this is how they look at night. They were starting to freeze but were too big to land and photograph.
Spring is (nearly) out there. So i tried to catch it.
Ingredients:
Olympus Zuiko OM 50/1.4 @f2.0
Olympus EM 10 Mark II
Manual settings, manual focus, handheld, available light. Hope, you enjoy!

Have a great weekend, friends !!!

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.
Another bubble shot...
This one was taken during the first kiss. They had all the guest blowing bubbles around the dance floor. I had a couple lights set up bouncing off the side walls. I moved one of the lights to shine more directional in front of the couple to light up the bubbles. It worked well but it left a sharp shadow on her face.

FROZEN SOAP BUBBLES
My personal procedure: Wait until it's -7 to -11 degrees F in northern Colorado, put on all of your North Pole Expedition outer wear and boots, choose one of the 24 different soap bubble solutions that you have created after doing some online research, take it outside and immediately spill some on your back porch, say a naughty word, decide where you want to create your bubble and then change your mind 62 times, set up your tripod and camera exactly where you need it and then try to lower your frozen tripod legs, say 2 naughty words, begin to blow your bubble, watch it blow away in .0000054 mile per hour breeze, say a REALLY naughty word, continue watching your bubbles blow away, finally get a bubble to begin to freeze and begin shooting, watch the crystals form in the bubble and giggle just a bit, watch the bubble pop, blow some new bubbles, watch them pop over and over again, say MANY nasty words in a row, ignore the frostbite now hitting your exposed skin, it just DOESN'T MATTER! ANYTHING FOR THE SHOT!
Repeat this process at night, early in the morning and late in the afternoon over 3 days.
Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 lens at 200mm and cropped, F11-16, various shutter speeds above 1/250sec, and various ISO's. Remote cable release and continuous focus and shutter release. Tripod.
I suspect Bubbles will sit here for many more years slowly rotting away.
Bubble's used to be a a regular visitor to our street. I was always happy to see, and hear, her. Now she is a permanent resident, sitting on the driveway. No tax disc (real or virtual), tyres deflating, feeling unloved and uncared for. She hasn't moved for a long time now. She was born on 19 January 1988.
