Zozo having fun blowing bubbles. Used the Oly 12-40 on the EM5 miii. I just love this camera for portraits of the grand kids. My R6ii is being fixed, it had a meltdown (I think they, that is canon may have a firmware problem with this that they aren't fessing up to), was pretty pissed about the timing but happy to use my trusty Oly. Used the G9 for video, omg it is awesome for stabe, I will be using it more.
I admit, the soap bubble isn't too sharp. But this was the only picture where you could see all the small droplets surrounding it.
I was trying different camera settings today. I think this one was Soft Skin. I like how dark it was, with just the outlines of the bubbles. This will be fun to tweak.
I've been sorting out my 2011 folders and I found this one from back in the Summer, it made me smile...I hope it makes you smile too:)
Found this housefly resting on a branch and blowing bubble in my rooftop garden.
The housefly (also house fly, house-fly or common housefly), Musca domestica, is a fly of the Brachycera suborder. It is the most common of all domestic flies, accounting for about 90% of all flies in human habitations, and indeed one of the most widely distributed insects, found all over the world; it is considered a pest that can carry serious diseases.
The adults are 8–12 mm long. Their thorax is gray, with four longitudinal dark lines on the back. The whole body is covered with hair-like projections. The females are slightly larger than the males, and have a much larger space between their red compound eyes. The mass of pupae can range from about 8 to 20 mg under different conditions.
Like other Diptera (meaning "two-winged"), houseflies have only one pair of wings; the hind pair is reduced to small halteres that aid in flight stability. Characteristically, the media vein (M1+2 or fourth long vein of the wing) shows a sharp upward bend.
Species that appear similar to the housefly include:
The lesser house fly, Fannia canicularis, is somewhat smaller, more slender, and the media vein is straight.
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, has piercing mouthparts and the media vein is only slightly curved.
