Rocky Mountain Moments

Not Frozen

I tried the frozen bubble experiment this morning but I should have gone out earlier.  It was already 18F when I started and they didn't freeze fast enough before they popped.  The breeze didn't help.  The other thing I did wrong was shooting on auto because I didn't want to bother with the camera while I was trying to blow bubbles.  The poor camera couldn't figure out the exposure with all that white.  By the time I downloaded and looked at the images and saw that none had turned out well, it was getting warmer outside.  When I went out again it was 26F but I tried anyway and got this very cool image with all the colors and reflections.  This and the first extra are straight out of the camera.  Interesting how a small change in the angle made a difference in the colors.  The second extra bubble has tiny ice crystals forming but that was as far as it got.  Tomorrow I will get out earlier with the correct camera settings and try again....

Although I needed colder weather for my bubbles, I am grateful that Colorado is not within the Polar Vortex!  I hope all my Midwest and New England friends are cozy in their homes, well stocked with food and firewood and gin. ;-)
