Soap bubbles

Restaurant Teatern, Helsinki, Finland.

Next Monday's theme for MM is bubble so I've been experimenting. This is one I won't be submitting but I quite like it. These bubbles are inside a clear glass paperweight.

NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575.

The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

This is a small bubble blown by my niece from a bubble making kit. The bubbles show variations in color depending on the thickness of the bubble surface film and how it reflects light. This is much like the way the colors of an oil sheen on water vary.

I got to wondering why the top half of the bubble reflected my house while the bottom half did the same only upside down and reversed (left to right). Here is one explanation from the web: rjheeks.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/soap-bubble-reflections/

Here are some thoughts about how to photograph bubbles: content.photojojo.com/inspiration/how-to-photograph-bubbl...

my niece blowed & enjoyed bubbles😍

Kids and adults love to play with bubbles - so transient flying up into the sky. Sometimes you mix bubble solution with glycerin in a bowl then take a straw and blow, You get bubbles that last longer and sometimes you get a single huge bubble!!!!

Had a play with a bubble maker in the back yard heaps of fun :)

We've got this large glass paperweight knocking around the office. I saw the sun shining through it and thought... 'That looks interesting...' Taken using Ixus 80 on macro.

I love to watch bubbles float by. they're so calming and perfect.

theme: soothing repetition

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've decided today to revisit my collection of shots from several weeks ago, when we've enjoyed a bit of a fire and bubble making fun. For me, this is yet another facet of summer. The time we spend outside with kids, roasting sausages and marsh-mellows on fire, playing silly games or just simply watching the kids goofing off is what always brings smile to my face.. I hope you have many opportunities of just such fun. Summer is too short not to do it often ;D
