What Happens When You Blow Soap Bubbles in Freezing Cold Weather

If you blow soap bubbles in freezing cold weather, amazing crystals of ice form on their surface (actually in the middle as the water is between two thin layers of soapy film); starting at the bottom and expanding upwards until the entire bubble is covered. Each bubble and pattern created is unique making for some terrific photo opportunities.

Artist and photographer Cheryl Johnson has been experimenting with different sized soap bubbles, getting beautiful close-ups of the crystallizing soap bubbles. Johnson has been sharing her updates on Facebook where you can find an entire album of the beautiful bubbles.

Johnson is also an accomplished, self-taught watercolor painter and you can see many of her paintings at cheryljohnsonart.com.

PINE CONES BURNING IN A FIRE

Photograph by Joshua Hubert

In this red-hot close-up, photographer Joshua Hubert literally stuck his camera into the fire to get the shot. Submitted by the photog earlier today to Reddit, Hubert explains:

Yes. I did need to stick my camera into the flames to get this shot (I used a timer and quickly popped in and out of the flames, the camera was barely warm to the touch after.) And No, I could not just use a zoom. The flame light and smoke would get in the way of the flash. I was using a Lumix TS10. It is a rugged point and shoot camera. [Source]
