PA - 2nd HM

Blowing Bubbles

Pretty simple set up...most of the fun was in post processing. I poured some water in a dish with some regular dish soap...grabbed a straw and blew bubbles. In NIK Color Efex Pro 4 I applied a Bi-color filter of pink and green and then sent it through the Solarization filter for a nifty effect. I think it's fun and quirky!

Love the way you experiment with images, Kate. Just was looking at your gallery and enjoyed many other creative photos.
This is great and thanks for explaining how you did it. Those bubbles look like precious gems!

Thank you Sandy, Kory, Kathy and Basri. I appreciate the feedback. Who knew that blowing bubbles in a dish would end up looking so cool! I love to play...good thing I never grew up!
