@Christine Turner, as a Vancouver resident myself I've found winter temperatures in the Lower Mainland aren't quite cold enough.

I've also found that the relative humidity can impact how successful freezing bubbles are: with less humidity being more desirable 👍👍👍

That’s beautiful and well explained and demonstrated. My biggest problem is I HATE cold weather. Nevertheless, I find this quite compelling. In ten more months, northern Illinois should have suitable conditions.

I've photographed frozen bubbles in only -2 degrees celsius. And here in Denmark you can actually get bubble solution in the shops year round 🤣. Try backlighting with colored christmas lights, and fully open aperture. Depending on the lens you get the most beautiful bubbly bokeh. Pun intended!

Well done.... :)

Try cross polarization. I have a linear (or circular) polarizer on my lens and a linear polarizer beyond my subject. Polarize the light illuminating the bubbles. I purchased a whole 50" by 19" (127×48 cm) sheet of polarizing film decades ago that I use pieces of for my ice crystal photography.

+Zaber Ansary I suppose freezing anything would be a challenge in your neck of the world. 😛 I don't really have the need to move to a Nikon D850 - the Canon 5D mark IV does everything I need it to. Additionally, I'm too heavily invested in the EF lens system to make migrating systems even slightly financially viable.

great tutorial - any idea how much wind is too much for most bubbles to work - what wind level on your gadget have you found to be the limit generally speaking ?

Thank you so much for this awesome video. You are ridiculously likeable and easy to watch. Your bubbles are gorgeous (and I didn't even mind the background music - which is unusual for me). Your explanations were very, very good! Super video! I have one question: if you literally BLOW the bubble, doesn't the warm breath heat it up too much? In the video, it so often looks as if you're merely touching the end of the straw to/near the surface, then pulling away (but I can't imagine how that works, either). I never seem to get weather cold enough to try the bubble blowing, but I'm still hopeful 🙂 Thanks again!

@neilfisher

2 жыл бұрын

Many thanks @Shutterbeetle 👍 Appreciate the feedback😃😃😃 Yes, I regret not including more in depth detail in to how the bubbles are actually created. You're correct in that the end of the straw doesn't need to make contact with the intended surface - you can even have a bubble freeze on the end of a straw... provided there's zero wind and you have a steady hand.

A wonderful instruction video! Thank you! Do you think using glow-stick liquid would work in the bubble mixture?
