 Slice of Life Side Challenge - #15

This is definitely not my style or taste, but it is a slice of life.

I went to a photography association meeting, and there were table top setups for illustrating various fun techniques. This was for bubbles. It is a plastic flower in a container of water.

Citric acid and baking soda were added to the water to create the bubbles. The solution continued to produce bubbles for several hours -- until the end of the meeting and the water was dumped.

Lighting was a single lamp from the side plus general light from the room, and a green (yuk) poster board was place behind the container.

I just wanted to share this technique. Perhaps, if you feel like experimenting, you can produce something more artistic.
