Tiny Bubbles by farmreporter

Tiny Bubbles

For the Black and White challenge which is Drops and Bubbles.
I always wanted to try frozen bubble photography and yesterday was the perfect day for it - cold with no wind.
So, I googled for the bubble recipe (there are tons and they are all different) and how to do it.
HOWEVER - it is not easy. The fellow in one tutorial said it took him four days to get one decent shot.
I may give it another go this weekend which promises to have another cold snap (hopefully with no wind)
Oh - it works for the Song Title challenge as well!

Where are you located? Will you be getting some cold weather in the near future?
And, what recipe do you use to do this?

@farmreporter I am located in Pennsylvania and we do get cold enough days to play with frozen bubbles... Here is the recipe I use: 3 cups of water, 1 cup of dish soap and1 tablespoon of glycerin or 1/4 cup of corn syrup ... I have read to add a tablespoon of sugar too... I haven't tried the sugar ...yet !

Well done. It looks like it is frozen pretty solid. Just how cold was it?
