Don’t burst my bubble!

I’m posting this for Taylor (asmalltowndad) because she out-of-town but wanted something new posted. This was an experiment that she had seen on another blog and so talked me into to helping her on these. This is a vegetable oil mixed with water and food coloring. All three are mixed in a glass bowl and then we moved a spot light at different angles to capture the highlights. The green was taken from the side looking underneath the bubble, and the blue from the top. That’s all I know, all the camera lingo will have to come from her.

She’s loving all the help and comments, and I also want to thank everyone that has visited and commented.

Very interesting, Taylor. The top one looks like rain hitting a street under a green light. The depth in the bottom one is great!

They are both so interesting, visually. I like the play of light in the blue one. I would love to see an even closer view of one of those blue bubbles, it draws me in.

- Thank you Karen,
  I saw this on a different website and decided to try it because I also thought they were very interesting. I wanted to try something different and unusual and I thought taking these might be both of those!

Love the blue and green. The green reminds me of water on summer grass.

I know where you saw this, I think! I’m glad you went and tried it. Experimenting is the way to really find out what interests you most.
