These colors were created by forming an emulsion of cooking oil and water drops on the shiny side of a CD, and then shining a bright light on to the mixture. I used my 60 mm macro lens focused as closely as possible. The colors can be changed by partially blocking the light, and also by using a mirror to change where the light goes. This is fun stuff to play with. This is straight photography (whatever that is), and not created on a computer, although I used Photoshop to adjust contrast, saturation and remove tiny bubbles and specks of dust. It's not possible to go to the Canadian Rockies or Baja California every day.
More of these photographs of colorful emulsions are in my pretentiously titled Emulsion Art album.
Bubbles as a boat pulls up to the dock. I'd like to think you can see the little fish swimming away beneath the bubbles, but it'd be fantasy...
The famous methane bubbles of Abraham Lake.
I make a yearly pilgrimage to this spot, which is one of the best places to see the bubbles in the Rockies due to the incredibly windy nature of the region that blows all of the snow off the ice. Case in point: the winds were about 60km/h when we were out shooting this sunset, and were strong enough that if you put down your tripod and let go, it would slide in a mad dash away from you across the ice!
The bubbles themselves are methane from plant life on the lake floor that gets frozen on its way towards the surface. They are absolutely fascinating, and I easily spend hours shooting on every visit!

A few weeks ago I read an article about how surface patterns on soap bubbles are analogous to weather systems. Specifically, spirals on soap bubbles look a little like the vortices of hurricanes and tornadoes.

I'm a long way off capturing really clear and high def vortices on bubbles yet. But it's encouraging to see this spiral existing without me having to work hard to create it.
I'd love to photograph a vortex very clearly and beautifully. Hopefully I'll manage it one day. So far, I'm just one step closer.....
P.S. The image quality is not great here. Only a few pixels to play with.
And if you haven't spotted the spiral, it is..... just above the centre of the bubble. I only spotted it myself because I have been carefully looking out for these vortices. I bet I've photographed them in the past without noticing.
She got a present from her cousin Risa, a Bubble Walker and now she only walks with this thing at anytime … well … i love my Kiddo 😉
The Walker is made by Freaky & Fabulous
it is wearable and is made for Bebe Body and the youth body….
For Macro Mondays- I only darkened the outside so the ball was the brightest part, Black & White version on my page. Explored: 6/28/16
Rikenon 50/2. Nailed the manual focus — got sunstars in the bubbles! Interestingly, you can see the street scene in each of the bubbles--kind of like a bunch of fisheye lenses shooting back at the camera.
Bubbles, bubbles, they do stream
Tiny bubbles, filled with dreams
Flowing fast, flowing slow
Past the trees, watch them go
Under skies stretching high
Bubbles leap, bubbles fly
Filled with hopes, wild dreams
Into the future the bubble streams
I placed a colourful abstract image underneath a glass dish that I place in natural light to create this abstract bubble art.
Here is a fountain that creates bubbles, and, as far as I know, there is no soap or detergent in the water. And, the bubbles persist in a balance with the sprinkle and flow of the water.

For Macro Mondays
Theme: Bubbles
Reflection of the landscape in a bubble gives a fisheye appearance. The colors come from the oils on the bubble surface.
No processing but curves/contrast in Lightroom, this isn't projected with software.

The theme for this week's Macro Monday is bubbles and my intention was to take part in it. But it seems my dog had other ideas :)) By the time I got out my macro lens, the bubbles had dog gone disappeared :)) HMM and thank you for all dear Flickr friends!
Just playing about with my extension tubes, lensbaby and some bubble wrap.

In the main square of Ibiza.after a protest against Oil rigs around the island. Waited for a capture like this one. A fun shot!
Thousands of air bubbles caught in thick ice when viewed closeup reveal a different world, cold and alien to the one we know.
