@joannakate Thank you, Joanna... I highly recommend it.. it was great fun... but very cold... lots of hot chocolate followed shortly after this photo shoot :-)
@aecasey I struggled a bit also until I found the right mix of soapy water for the bubbles and using an ordinary dringing straw to blow the bubbles also works very well.
In my experience not all kinds of dishwashing soaps works equally well - the best one we have here in Denmark is called Fairy Ultra (maybe you have that too where you live?). Also to get long lasting bubbles it also helps to add some kind of lubricant - the lubricant helps in stabilizing the bubbles, so that they can withstand the gravity a bit better and therefore the bubbles lasts a little longer (gravity weakens the top half of the bubble as the water travels to the botton half, and when the top half gets too thin the bubble breaks). There's probably several kinds of lubricant, but I just purchased the standard one from the pharmacy, and it really works - the bubbles last very long giving you plenty of time to take photograps.
