When did you last blow bubbles?: Quite recently, I love bubbles
Boredom can lead to creative thinking :-)
Another image from the Half Pint Milk Bottle series.
Really needs to be seen in the Jumbo size!
I appreciate the offers but please ***NO INVITES OR GROUP ICONS***
Still practicing these. I thought this one had a sort of intergalactic planetary feel to it.
Forest reflections in a swirling soap bubble. Thanks to Pentaxpics2009 for the inspiration and the tips!

When I was younger I loved to crackle it, then there was a battle between my brother and me, for who should have crackled it! :)
- Two merged soap bubbles provide the optimum way of enclosing two given volumes of air of different size with the least surface area.

Playing with a kids set of bubbles in the garden...you knpow dip in a wand and blow the bubbles off it....a focus nightmare...fun results,
2013 ETC - Bubbles.
I made my own oilier than your average bubble mix for this. I would have liked a nice sky blue background but the reflections were greater the darker the background was. Hence the fence.
Just gave this bubble a bit of a lift. F/5 makes for clear reflections. Upwards from f/5 there will be a stronger reverse reflection coming, I think, from the inside rear surface.
Not perfect...but it's my 1st try...Thanks to Peggy. who assisted me in discovering 'the bubble'. Peggy is a peach of a Flickr Friend and went way beyond her time and energy to help me. Thanks Peggy! ; ))
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!
The Bubble Nebula (NGC7635) is one of three shells of gas surrounding the massive star BD 602522, the bright star near the center of the bubble. Energetic radiation from the star ionizes the shell, causing it to glow. This is one of around 300 of the most massive stars in the milky way.
The star is known as a Wolf-Rayet star, which is an O-type star that is nearing the supernova stage. These stars are incredibly hot — from 25,000 to 50,000 Kelvin (about 24,726 degrees Celsius or 44,540 degrees Fahrenheit) and expel their outer layers of gas at tremendous velocities (thousands of kilometers per second).
Image Details: This is a combination of LRGB and Ha. I was unable to use the data from the previous image. Maybe I will figure this out eventually.
I used Pixinsight exclusively for processing this image other than for stacking for which I used DSS as usual.
Luminance: 4x10mins bin 1x1
R: 4x5 mins bin 2x2
G: 4x5 mins bin 2x2
B: 4x5 mins bin 2x2
Ha: 9X15 mins bin 1x1
A synthetic luminance channel was created using pixelmath using the idea described here.
pixinsight.com/tutorials/narrowband/theory/en.html
Even though this is generally done only for Ha, I found good results using this method for Luminance.
R was also combined with ha using the same manner described in the paper above
G and B processed normally.
I had to do some pixelmath trickery to reduce the appearance of seams despite frame adaptation since the Ha and other frames weren't perfectly aligned. That issue is still visible but not too intrusive I hope.
I am satisfied with this image for now.

Bubble filters are virtually ubiquitous on the internet. They scan our web searches and learn from our behavior to show us only the content we want to see. By hiding information that conflicts with our point of view, they isolate each of us in our own cultural and ideological bubble.
In addition to the bubbles on the internet, there are also personal bubbles, which we build ourselves by consciously setting boundaries that separate us from others and the outside world. In doing so, however, we give up that element of unpredictability that makes life so special and worth living.
