I noticed this network of bubbles as I rinsed out a soap dispenser for the recycling this morning
Bubbles #95 in 115 pictures
This most recent set of bubble photos were taken using a studio flash and plain old washing up liquid and water. The bubble doesn't last very long at all, between 30 and 60 secdonds, but the colours are great! The powerful studio flash allows me to use F/32 and ISO 100 which ensures the sharpest image.
One of my older pictures to wrap up the June Scavenger Hunt Phew... I thought I will never finish this month!! :)
#6 Bubbly
Camera: QHY9M
Filters: Baader LRGB
Telescope: AP160 refractor at f/7.5
Mount: AP900
Guider: QHY guide camera + Borg 60ach
Exp: 160 minutes [7x10m Lum, 3x10m RGB ea]
Loc: 3RF Comanche Springs Astronomy Campus
QHY9 camera with 8300 chip. This was in 90 degree Texas evening heat. I have not yet shot darks or flats, and made only slight noise adjustments in Photoshop CS5.
I have a new Baader Ha filter that I'll use next on this object and blend in with this data set for a new result.
Edit: On July 20, I revisited this photo and correct some of the color issues with stars and the nebula. I replaced the original with what you see now.
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.

i love these ladies. korbin and tori had me shoot some grad party pictures. the bubbles tori brought ended up being pretty awesome. i'm making a stop motion of today, so i'll upload that when it's done along with another photo or two.
From the first five minutes of the movie Lost in Space. As soon as I got back from watching it in the theaters I tried to build what has come to be known as the "Bubble fighter." I tried several years later, but it still wasn't accurate. However this time I had a reference image to look at, and finally built something I'm pleased with.
Anyone who knows me, knows that bubbles baths are my number one way to unwind.
Bath and Body Works anyone?
Thomas Couture (French, 1815–1879)
Title
Soap Bubbles
Date
ca. 1859
Medium
Oil on canvas
Dimensions
51 1/2 x 38 5/8 in. (130.8 x 98.1 cm)
Couture triumphed at the Salon of 1847 with his "Romans of the Decadence" (Musée d'Orsay, Paris), a monumental canvas whose depiction of a Roman orgy was interpreted as a satire of the corrupt regime of the July Monarchy (1830–48). With "Soap Bubbles," he reused a traditional vanitas image: the bubbles symbolize the transience of life, while the wilting laurel wreath on the wall suggests the fleeting nature of praise and honors. The word "immortalité," inscribed on the paper inserted in the framed mirror, reinforces the painting's allegorical content. In 1867, Édouard Manet, who studied in Couture's Paris atelier, painted "Boy Blowing Bubbles" (Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon), which, although recalling Couture's precedent, counters his master's allegory with an emphatically naturalistic portrayal.
