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!

Capturing an irredescent bubble in a glass.
I noticed the bubble left in the glass as I was washing up and placed a black card behind it to capture the image.
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.
I don't often take photos like this, so it was nice change of pace! I had this idea for awhile but I didn't have bathroom set up until now :)

So I'm sitting in an expensive movie and beautiful theater on vacation in Kansas watching Oblivion, and I see the Bubble VTOL flying through clouds. I said to myself I have to build this, and starting working on design ideas immediately. However I soon lost myself in the extremely awesome and complex plot. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it, and Tom Cruise performed brilliantly. Its definitely my favorite Tom Cruise film.
A big thanks to Evan (Lego Junkie) for giving me a couple of great suggestions.
Perhaps the only big inaccuracy on this compared the real deal is there are no guns on the cockpit. I'm just enough of a Lego genius to figure out how to do that...wait, I might have some idea..oh well!

Enjoy and God Bless!
I've finally got both my new macro extension tubes from Santa (OK Amazon). So time to hide in the kitchen and take photos of odd things. Tonight's experiment was bubbles (my wife really won't understand this!)
All my kitchen project photos are in this album:-

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
Bubbles flew at the Harbourfront Center this past weekend as kids of all ages took part in Newmindspace's annual bubble battle.

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.

I put a few drops of diswashing liquid and some water in a bowl-type vase and blew into it with a straw to create bunches of bubbles.
I like the fact that the bubbles are both the same colour and that the reflections are similar. I shot this early this morning out in a wide open space, yet close enough to a dark hedge (need a dark background). Nice to get strong green reflections in a blue bubble too!
You can actually see the early morning clouds more clearly in the small bubble, which is quite strange. The different sized bubbles tend to pick up the light differently. To me, it seems random how they do this, in that sometimes a small bubble will be darker than the large bubble and sometimes it will be brighter. There's no doubt some theory that could explain this.
The strangeness of these reflections actually reward some close viewing. Spend a while in there! Have a wander!
I was going to name this bubble 'Clean', because it's so clean. Lots of times when you blow a bubble inside a bubble, bits stick to the side, or tiny bubbles of different colours get stuck between the larger bubbles. They're nice in their own way, but it's also sweet to get a more simple and minimalist shot like this one.

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.
I discovered a deep and fundamental truth. Photographing soap bubbles is more fun than washing dishes with them.

I often adjust light and colours in shots to give a bit more 'punch', but I thought I'd touch base as it were, and just upload this fresh for my 'SOOC Bubbles' set (SOOC = Straight Out Of the Camera = no editing). Not even a crop. One for the purists! For anyone interested in taking bubble shots, you can see here that I underexpose a little to help get some dof (depth of field) on shutter priority.
Something to do on a boring day: put soap in a glass, place a pretty object in the bottom, use the light of the window, hand hold because of the awkward position, then take a lot of shots to get one sharp.

By the way, Lightning in my previous photo was adopted, I'm happy to say.
This is an image from earlier this year that I have re-edited. I used a bubble machine in the garden. The coloured bubbles are the result of reflections from the garden greenery and flowers.
