Shooting bubbles has really been a good photographic learning experience for me. It has taught me to accept what is presented to me, rather than being too caught up with my pre-envisioned shot. Usually when I'm shooting a subject I have a very clear picture in my head of what I'm trying to achieve. And I sometimes even get close to the shot that I wanted, more or less.
However with bubbles I rarely get the shot that I was trying for. In this case there was water dripping off the roof from snow melt. When the bubbles would drift through the drips sometimes they would pop, and sometimes the drips would go right through, either way I figured it might be a cool capture. Well, needless to say I didn't get anything even remotely cool related to water drops and bubbles. But as soon as this one came off the wand I thought, "holy crap, those colors!" so I was just smashing the shutter button, hoping to get a shot before it exploded.
I wish I understood the dynamics of bubble colors better, I'd like to get more like this, because this was pretty much just dumb luck. This was the only bubble that day with colors like this.

A man making soap bubbles for the crowd in London
We were out on foot on the first day of this trip to London and, if I recall correctly, we must have traveled across the Millennium Bridge over the River Thames to the Tate Modern in the gray drizzle. We had no specific plans on this day, and I think we were just sort of getting our "London legs" by getting out and about, no matter where our whims took us. (That said, one place that the walk took us was a pub, for breakfast!)
Coming back across the bridge the view points straight toward the St. Paul's Cathedral, and once over the bridge the walkway travels between some modern buildings as it approaches. This is, obviously, prime tourist territory, so it is a likely place for street vendors and performers. (It is also a fine place for street photographers.) The black-dressed fellow was spreading a mess of soapy water on the sidewalk tiles and lots of big bubbles into the air.

Went MIA again, Sorry! This past week I had a sick baby and then I got sick. Fever galore in this house. I hardly took any photos to even catch up so I'm skipping a few days.
Yesterday we actually were all well enough to play outside. I happen to think bubbles are just magical. I love seeing so many float along in the sky, it's beautiful. I was trying to capture that, but it's a lot harder then it looks. LOL Noah was fascinated by the bubbles, he thought it was funny when he would try to touch one and it would pop.
You can get really colourful bubbles like this if you add glycerin to your soapy water solution. I got the glycerin at a pharmacy for 2€, that makes this a really cool and inexpensive little photo project for the weekend!
I am now employed as a Car Washer, and one of the excitement of this kind of work is the bubbles that pops up anywhere. You got small up to large bubbles, in the hood, on the roof and in the compartment hood at the back portion.
Have to get my camera ready for the action as this will eventually burst and nothing could be done to reprocess again. All will be gone.
It hasn't not stopped raining today needing a bit of cheering up Ive watched the beautiful colours forming on theses soap bubbles . Ive not got the right equipment but quite pleased with the results .
Thanks for viewing .
Now that's a bubbler! A bubbler is another term for a drinking fountain - I've been told it is a Wisconsinism. The focus bothers me in this image but I still like it.
