Frozen Bubble

Olympus E-M1iii, 30mm macro, f8, 1/100, fill flash pushed +1.

It’s been super cold and I saw a recipe to make frozen soap bubble so I thought I’d give it a shot. (get it?, sorry) I learned a few things-

  1. Don’t let them freeze all the way. They get cloudy and then collapse.
  2. It can be too cold. When the bubble mix gets cold bubbles pop too easily. Around -4 is good.
  3. No wind. I worked on the porch.
  4. Get light on them for good contrast.
  5. Work fast, it gets cold.

Bubble mix recipe:

    1 cup water
    4 Tbs dish soap
    3 TBS glycerine
    2 TBS sugar
