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...
I shot this last night, at sunset. Shot towards the sun. Ring of fire! This is the first time I've seen a bright border around a bubble. I don't know why it looks like this. I like it though!
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!!!!

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!
For the 26th birthday of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers are highlighting a Hubble image of an enormous bubble being blown into space by a super-hot, massive star. The Hubble image of the Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, was chosen to mark the 26th anniversary of the launch of Hubble into Earth orbit by the STS-31 space shuttle crew on April 24, 1990.
The Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across — about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri — and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.
The star forming this nebula is 45 times more massive than our sun. Gas on the star gets so hot that it escapes away into space as a "stellar wind" moving at over 4 million miles per hour. This outflow sweeps up the cold, interstellar gas in front of it, forming the outer edge of the bubble much like a snowplow piles up snow in front of it as it moves forward.
As the surface of the bubble's shell expands outward, it slams into dense regions of cold gas on one side of the bubble. This asymmetry makes the star appear dramatically off-center from the bubble, with its location in the 10 o'clock position in the Hubble view.
Dense pillars of cool hydrogen gas laced with dust appear at the upper left of the picture, and more "fingers" can be seen nearly face-on, behind the translucent bubble.
The gases heated to varying temperatures emit different colors: oxygen is hot enough to emit blue light in the bubble near the star, while the cooler pillars are yellow from the combined light of hydrogen and nitrogen. The pillars are similar to the iconic columns in the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula. As seen with the structures in the Eagle Nebula, the Bubble Nebula pillars are being illuminated by the strong ultraviolet radiation from the brilliant star inside the bubble.
The Bubble Nebula was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel, a prominent British astronomer. It is being formed by a prototypical Wolf-Rayet star, BD +60°2522, an extremely bright, massive, and short-lived star that has lost most of its outer hydrogen and is now fusing helium into heavier elements. The star is about 4 million years old, and in 10 million to 20 million years, it will likely detonate as a supernova.
Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 imaged the nebula in visible light with unprecedented clarity in February 2016. The colors correspond to blue for oxygen, green for hydrogen, and red for nitrogen. This information will help astronomers understand the geometry and dynamics of this complex system.
The Bubble Nebula is one of only a handful of astronomical objects that have been observed with several different instruments onboard Hubble. Hubble also imaged it with the Wide Field Planetary Camera (WFPC) in September of 1992, and with Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in April of 1999.

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

Occasionally, Humpback Whales in Southeast Alaska will feed in coordinated groups using bubbles to trap fish at the water’s surface. This behavior is known as bubble net feeding. Bubble net feeding involves 4-20 whales all working together to herd schooling fish into dense schools. wiki
121034 or 55034 (depending on your generation) ended its front line career this time last week. Seen here, in its final week of service being photographed from every conceivable angle at Aylesbury station. The Bubble Car would shortly be working 2P65 17.25 to Princes Risborough.
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 have been trying to do this for over a year now. this is my first adequate bubble shot.
Inspired by Richard on flickr. I say adequate because you gotta see his stream!! pretty awesome.
after bunch of reading and testing I can say this is my first bubble that I am proud of. didn't have an assistant, so I was making the bubble in one hand and trying to focus and shoot quickly in the other. that's why you see some panning effect :-)
total time: 2.5 hours
total shots: 62
made my own bubble maker because I couldn't find one that could make a big bubble.
Very short exposure before the fog came in.
C9.25 with reducer, 5 x 300s Ha 7nm 2x2 binned.

I'm not very pleased at all with the background, but there are just scads of out of control variables involved when shooting bubbles. It is so hard to even get one bubble in focus that two seemed worth keeping, and these had exceptionally good colors to them. Not faked up, just cropped and a little curves adjustment for some contrast enhancement.
