Bubble

My get pushed challenge this week is from JackieR and the challenge was to do a surface rainbow refraction (ie not through water) which is found in bubbles, oil, shining light through some plastic / perspex etc.
I tried doing this last night with only moderate success. According to google I need to add some drops of glycerine to strengthen the bubble so it has a chance to develop some colours. I am away from home at the moment but had a go with soap bubble mixture a glass and a straw. The bokeh effect is from lots of little bubbles. I got a wee bit of rainbow on the large bubble. Will try again some time.

That's a fabulous curve of rainbow, challenge nailed

Delwyn looks like you haven't seen my reply to your challenge to me.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - Oh no I didn't see it Jackie - that's all good - why don't you do a panning shot for me?

[Delwyn Barnett]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond for some reason I don't always get emailed with notifications.

[Christine Louise]

Very clever, you've inspired me to try it

[JackieR]

@dkbarnett I rely on the blue bell!! I switched off email notifications. I'll give panning a go for you, thank you for coming up with something else

[Olwynne]

Great capture, lovely colours in the bubbles

[Rick]

Cool capture. I've tried a few times, but never can seem to get it to work out right.

[Kathy]

You did well with this challenge.

[Delwyn Barnett]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - Thanks JackieR - now I know about the blue bell! Don't know why I have never seen it before!

[JackieR]

@dkbarnett im so sorry I failed to do your challenge. We went on a boating holiday and I took wrong lens. I've been trying to plan gulls and ducks, failing miserably. If/when we're partnered again very happy to be give me that challenge again!!

[Delwyn Barnett]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond No problem at all Jackie, it happens. I am having serious camera problems this week too - not ideal when away on holiday!!

[JackieR]

@dkbarnett oh no!! Phone if use for photos???

[Delwyn Barnett]

I have managed to take one or two photos successfully!! Have to manually focus plus use the screen as a touch screen for shots. That doesn't always work either, and sometimes it is taking shots all by itself! So yes - have resorted to iPhone at times.
