First go at Astrophotography ?

Took these pics of a nearby gas giant with my macro lens :)

Sometimes life- forms can be seen floating in the atmosphere

Lovely colors and patterns you've shot there, but I'd suggest getting yourself to a doctor immediately to get that thing checked. :wink

[Thusie]

WOW! Thats it. WOW!

:rofl :lol3


great shots!

[Rohirrim]

Very nice!

:rofl:rofl:rofl

You must have a direct line to Hubble :wink

[Lord Vetinari]

Thanks for the comments all :D
Assume you all realised they are pics of soap bubbles about 2" in diameter.
Interesting- they start off full of colour which then drains to a beige/gray colour and then those dark shapes start appearing just before the bubble bursts.

Especially the second one, it looks like a planet in a galaxy far far away... :rofl

Brian V.the dark shapes are really interesting. I'm having a very hard time thinking up a good explanation for them (which is embarassing since my current set of fluids that I'm researching are basically soap :wxwax)

Well if it's any help I was shooting against a black background- thought they were either very thin areas or maybe something crystallising as the bubble evaporated. Wht they should have tails and face the same way though beats me.

How do they evolve? Do they get bigger? :scratch

[DavidTO]

Fantastic. So surreal. :thumb

Man that's some wild stuff. :clap

[Lord Vetinari]

Must admit I not too sure about that- I was concentrating too much on the shots :)
They appeared very quickly and then seemed to stay roughly the same size until it burst (I think).
BTW I was using very thick solutions of "Joy" washup liquid from the USA- the bottle was 20 years old but was recommended for bubble blowing.

Thanks Phil,
Like to try something different every now and then (especially when it's pouring with rain outside :) )

[Herman Auer]

Wow! Very impressive! The third photo reminds me of tadpoles......

Certainly something different than those little critters!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers - Herman :thumb

[BigAl]

Cool shots Brian. That last one really does look like life emerging from the primordial ooze...

[Lord Vetinari]

Thanks Herman And Al,
Always fun to to take something different :)
