I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky
Then like my dreams they fade and die
This was a very challenging challenge! Frustrating. Exhausting. Addictive. I learned a lot and know what I'll do differently the next time I try this. My biggest problem was lighting and focus. The fact that I don't have a lot of photography equipment also hindered me. My kitchen table was a mess! I would have liked to have taken the project outside for better lighting, but we've had nothing but rain and wind. So the virus isn't the only thing keeping me inside!
Here in sussex we have a long tradition of mining like the welsh and cornish,although we generally prefer chalk and another little unbeknown commodity ...bubbles!
yes the very bubbles you'll have all enjoyed in you bubble baths,shower gels ,fizzy drinks and in your beer started here,deep underground at the matey bubble mine,heres a quick snap of a couple of the miners at the end of their shift after returning to the surface....its not dirty work but somebody has to do it.
shot from last LP session with justin
This shot was an accident. I hadn't meant to photograph a bubble popping. It was a very happy accident though. It showed me that it's possible to photograph a bubble bursting!
There's some editing here to bring out the popping effect on the bottom left. The editing is curves adjustment, a sharpen, some highlight, and saturation.
I didn't think the relatively slow shutter speed of 1/200 would capture the bubble popping, but it has. Take a CLOSE LOOK at that bottom left hand corner. It's weird alright! It looks like it's imploding. I'd suspect that the whole process of popping happens in 1/100th of a second - it's just too quick to see. So, to have it popping while still being able to see the reflection - it's a rare moment!
The strange thing about popping, I think, is that it's neither really an explosion or an implosion (I might be wrong on this though), because the air inside isn't a higher or lower pressure than outside. Does that make sense. Maybe it's ever so slightly higher, but surely it can't be much higher, as the soap/water film is just that, a very thin film. It's more a peeling or unzipping!
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.
Strobist:
430 ex bouncing off left wall at 1/4 power (PW PlusII)
430 exII coming from the right aimed in front of the couple. at 1/16th (Flex TT5)
580 ex on camera for some ETTL fill. (Mini TT1)

I hope this brings a smile from you for Hump Day. This little man was so delighted by the bubbles his father was blowing for him at a recent Car Club Event that it brought out the inner child in all of us!
Happy Hump Day - & don't forget to post in, and check out, the group!
Happy Hump day!
* macromonday "fill the frame"
* ANSH scavenger7 "bird bath"
.....(or, alternately, this could be #11 soap bubbles ~grin~)
gotta have a little humor in the group pool
*and* this gives me an idea of how to do the ice-bucket challenge to raise awareness for ALS
Four shots taken at this mornings bubble run. It's been a rough week, the flue kicked my ass, twice. Just when I thought I was over it it boomeranged back. But great to get out this morning, and get some fresh air and bubbles!

I was walking along the Royal Mile and saw a flurry of bubbles flying. Sadly, I didn't have my usual Canon camera.
As the saying goes, the best camera you have is the one in your hand with you right now. I took out my mobile phone!
A little soap bubble inside a bigger soap bubble.
This is my first download from my new camera: Nikon D7000.
The D7000 just gives me an extra bit of everything, compared to my D90. Exciting to play with a new camera!

Thank you all for watching, visiting my photostream, your faves and kind comments.
You can not go wrong if you buy some cheap bubble mix or make you one and share the results with kids. During this southern California sunset a man was dipping his net like wand into a bucket and releasing hundreds of bubbles to float over the pier to the joy and pleasure of young and old, boys and girls and photographers too.
