It was only -11°C. I did this experiment today. Not very good result but it was test...
(Now in evening is -22°C)
Tuesday morning left for work at freezing 2f, -16C,
when I came home 9am it was 16F perfect for bubbles.
What a difference few days make, from freezing weather we had these past 3 days Sunday will be 57F,
I guess we must wait to take frozen bubbles again.
The season has started for frozen bubbles, it was 15F perfect temperature for making bubbles. this time those bubbles stayed whole for the longest time,
stirring well is essential to blend all the liquids to become one.

Not as easy as it seems...
Add warm water to the container.
Add the corn syrup and mix until clear again.
Add the sugar (for crystallization) and mix until dissolved.
Add the dish soap and stir until just combined.
Let mixture sit outside for about 20 minutes (do not freeze) before you begin to blow your bubbles.
Must be -10C or colder without WIND
Wait for the sun and snap away
I saw an image from Mike Reichardt (www.flickr.com/photos/158221200@N05/52577268190/in/datepo...) of a frozen bubble, and researched the method. Timing was perfect, as we are amidst a cold snap, where temperatures haven't risen above -7 C, very unusual for us. So, I had a chance to try it!

My first attempt at a photographing frozen bubbles. It may not have been really cold enough - though my fingers found it way too cold at -2C. There was also a bit too much of a breeze as many bubbles blew too far away and popped. I took so long trying to get this one right that it was beginning to melt again in the sunshine.
The weather has been to warm here to take new bubbles,
I must say I missed all that freezing fun:-)
It has to be bellow 16 F in order to work.
Recipe on my first bubble, check the Frozen bubbles album.
Coming home Yesterday was perfect temperature 16F for frozen bubbles. 90 to be exact, many of them went to trash.
The photo was taken by our front door bush.
This was taken in the garden 4 years ago,
Unfortunately this year the weather was warmer most of the time, need to be bellow 16F in order to form crystals before it pops.
Album of the Bubbles,
When it’s 5°F in the middle of the day, what else is there to do but blow bubbles in the snow ❄️

A rare opportunity.. cold temps in South Dakota without accompanying strong winds. It was about 12 degrees F and I was wishing for colder weather.. I don't wish for that often! It would have been better for this exercise however if the temp had been closer to zero.
But this was the best chance I would get in the foreseeable future to try taking a photo of a frozen bubble.
Yes.. after blowing the bubble.. you hold your breath..
waiting for the crystals to form and afraid that the slightest wind might pop it.
There are so many things I could have done to get a better photo.. like backlighting the bubble.
Oh well.. maybe next time.
It was amazing to see how each frozen soap bubble produced such a unique pattern when it froze. This bubble pattern looks metallic as if there are metal feathers interlocking. The pattern grew more from the top down. I am submitting just this one more for the textures theme on Textural Tuesday. Then I am on to my next project. Good luck with all those who are giving this challenge to capture frozen bubbles a try!
Yet another Crystal ball from the other day,
have a lovely week ahead everyone.
The snow has turned into rain, hopefully will melt all that white stuff on the ground.
I don't usually post old photos, but as I was clearing out old archives of things I had texted to friends, I came across this one from 2016. Couldn't resist. I need to try this again some day.
Immer noch im Seifenblasenfieber habe ich mich nochmals an das Thema gewagt. Es hatte -8 Grad und wir dachten dass das Gefrieren der Blasen bestens funktioniert.
Leider war es sehr schwer die Blasen sind dauernd geplatzt.
Für ca. 1/2 Stunde war es einigermaßen möglich,
Es spielen wohl mehrere Faktoren eine Rolle ob der Zauber klappt
My first attempt! (At -7 °C) This was a raher small one. Most of the bubbles I blew bursted of flew away.
Petite expérience macro! souffler des bulles par un froid de canard, espérer qu'il y en ait au moins une qui gèle, que j'aie le temps de la photographier avant qu,elle ne crève. c'est commencer l'année en s'amusant!
This is a frozen soap bubble I had some success with when the temps were colder last weekend. I added a simple edit to add an extra blue bubble for the theme " blue on black background". Once the temperatures drop again, I hope to experiment more with these.

I tired to get the bubbles off the wand to take their photos in the snow on the railing. Alas they either popped or blew away in the air then popped from the cold.
I had seen these done for some time and always wanted to try it. As it was minus 15C and feels like minus 22C (for my US friends here or anyone still using Fahrenheit that is 5F feels like minus 8F) I figured I would give it a go with the addition of corn syrup and sugar to the bubble mix. As I had my 105mm macro that stopped autofocusing some months back I had to stand the want up (it had a flat bottom) on the deck and get the shot. I am happy to have gotten this finally. Will definitely be trying more over the winter.
