Playing With Bubbles_DSC1087

Bubble is one of the words for January, so I decided to have a play. I didn't have a wand or bubble solution so I improvised with bent wire and hand wash. This was the clearest of them. Some shots had better swirling colours, but I struggled with focus. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if it is permissible, but this probably covers, bubble, bright and new (because I've never tried this before).

Love this image! I like your idea of the bent wire and handwash. I've tried shots of water and oil but not bubbles . . . after seeing this beautiful image I'm inspired to give it a try. Fav!

Very cool pic, love the colours and refracted image in the bubble :)

[Babs]

Amazing, what a great idea. Don't think you need any tips, you have nailed it with this shot. I must put this on the list of things to try. fav

Beautiful colors. I haven't done this for a long time...

@birdy @chrysanthemum @joansmor @hermann @happysnaps @pyrrhula @onewing @gaylewood Thank you, it was a lot of fun. It was easier when I got my husband to make the bubble and hold it in front of my camera, but my success rate was still pretty low. I'm looking forward to trying it again.

Amazing colours. I can't offer any tips because I've never tried it, but that looks like success to me.

Very cool.
