12.27.2019 Bubbles on Ice

No fog or frog this day but Friday frozen foam and bubbles.

I sought and I found…frozen bubbles in Harvard Pond. Actually a bit downstream from the dam on the west side.  I had some luck there last year and thought that despite the thaw we were experiencing there might be some refreeze.

I guessed correctly

It was a bit of a challenge deciding where to place the plane of focus as there were a couple of strata with bubbles.  Apparently there have been a few thaw/freeze days and each time more bubbles were captured.  I decided to go with the deeper level as those were the larger and more interesting.

Once again, in order to achieve widest focus I had to be directly above and parallel to the subject which made placement of the tripod legs a bit risky. And, me being me, I gently tapped what was probably the best composition and had to sadly watch it float away.

But there were others such as the above and this.

It really is a lot of fun picking out the shapes for the more interesting abstracts.
