This is from yesterday. We have a cold spell going on, so I am taking advantage as much as possible. The temp needs to be around 12 degrees, probably 10 to 18 degrees seems to be the best for the crystals to grow. I had my 5 year old grandson with me, and I parked next to where I was working, so he could stay warm in the truck and watch what I was doing.
I went out today to the Devil's Backbone, a cook area in Northern Colorado. It was about 14 degrees out, and it snowed all last night, so my hope had been to do the Frozen Bubbles, and also do some hiking along the Backbone for landscape images. But even though I tried before I hiked and after I hiked before it got too dark, I don't think I got any usable images of the bubbles, they constantly popped, even though there was no wind. I mention this, because I have looked at several YouTube tutorials on doing the frozen bubbles, and I don't think any of them mentioned just how difficult it is to do. I mention this, just to share this isn't an easy thing to do. Today, I went 30 minutes with the bubbles constantly popping as soon as I blew them. It's a tedious task. The result is cool when it works right, but it can be a real pain to get them.
Anyway, all comments are welcome,
Jim
PS. This is from a video, I took it into Photoshop and grabbed the frames I wanted. I shot in 4k to give the it more resolution.
