I Heart Faces – Week #32 – Bubbles

button - photochallenge1

This week is a fun one over at I Heart Faces – it is Bubble week! I wasn’t thinking about entering as my 3 are a tad beyond blowing the normal soap bubbles…but then I had an idea….

Got an old vintage glass Pint milk bottle that we normally have in our kitchen on display (washed it thoroughly!), put some milk in there along with blue food colouring. Grabbed the ‘easy’ victim um, er, I mean child and went over the road to take photos in the fading light. He still had his school uniform on which I thought would work well because I was going for an ‘old time’ feel to the shoot. A few ok, many shots later and I was happy…enough…

I used Sheye Rosemeyers Eye Candy actions which as many of you know – I adore!

What do you all think?

Love it K8
I don't have a technical eye for photography like a lot of followers would have, but I love the concept of blowing bubbles in milk – reminds me of my youth!

Jacq – you don't have to be technical at all – I just love that you comment! And yes, I was always told off for blowing bubbles in my milkshake when I was a kid!

Such a creative shot! Love the angle, it really focuses your eyes on the bottle and the bubbles.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
Blessings,

Oh. Now apart from the fact it’s yet another fab photo it’s reminded me of two things.

I must have the kids blow food dye bubbles and pop them on paper

And the horrors of free school milk in 1/3 pint bottles. I used to watch the strange kids who like warm, cream topped, full-fat milk blow happy bubbles behind the teachers back whilst I tried to gag the bottle down. I usually failed and took the consequences. Every day. It’s a wonder I grew up so normal. No really.

#40 Billykidd on 08.18.09 at 9:14 am

seriously!… what an awesome shot! LOVE it! another one of my favs! Really!!… This is so great.

#42 christieo on 08.18.09 at 12:56 pm

I LOVE MILK BUBBLES! great picture! funny, i took a zillion billion of the milk bubbles too and could’ve kept going! my favorite part is the crazy straw. i LOVE me some crazy straws.

#43 Kyla on 08.18.09 at 1:10 pm

This is absolutely AMAZING! What a great creative mind you have! I mean, come on . . . BLUE MILK! lol

Love the feel of this one and the expression on his face as he enjoys . . .

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment on my own photo. I’m a complete amateur, but it’s fun to play along.

#44 Julie Rivera on 08.18.09 at 1:41 pm

Absolutely perfect to leave him in his uniform for this! And a fun idea to add food coloring to the milk. I would have neglected that detail and then been disappointed. Great creativity!

#45 Tiaras & Tantrums on 08.18.09 at 2:37 pm

aww – now this is a very cool shot

#46 jen@ourdailybigtop on 08.18.09 at 2:51 pm
