Day 15 - Bubbles & a little bit of Spring

Having read  this article on the Digital Photography School website I decided to have a go at photographing soap bubbles. It is not as easy as it looks! I've spent all morning & all evening on it!  Main problems were unwanted reflections, both of me and the camera and my wonky home made lightbox.  Also a macro lens would have been handy.. All of these are very heavily cropped but I think this is the best of the bunch.

The next is of a bubble just about to burst, they thin from the top before going pop.  The dark one is a ghost bubble that burst mid exposure. It's totally unplanned but I thought was interesting.

Finally, so I didn't go mad with bubbles LB & I went for a stroll this afternoon and saw these catkins, our first sign of Spring! Was also pleased to spot a greater spotted woodpecker and a water rail.
