They look like exquisite lace, or feathers. When they appear, we quickly jump at the opportunity to get out the macro lens and tripod and do our best to capture these amazing patterns. During extremely cold days, amazing patterns appear on the outside of the storm window.
#Frozen bubble pics windows
Our windows are old and not completely weatherproof, and maybe that’s why we attract frost. Not sure everyone has the same opportunity we do. And you can create a truly unique image – one that no one else will ever get – nor will you ever get the same image again. Look at the edges between the deeper water and the shoreline for the most interesting patterns. So pull on your warm, water-proof boots, and get out there on the first few really cold days. When streams and creeks first freeze, they create some wonderful graphic designs. Then, keep practicing until you get it! It is amazing to watch how quickly the clear bubble forms crystals and converts into an opaque, crystal-covered dome! It helps if you can do this early or late in the day to get some backlit sun on the bubble. Stir the mixture and use a plastic drinking straw to form the bubbles. First, you need a really cold day, best if less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and little or no wind, so that usually limits opportunity to just a few days a year in our neck of the woods in Pennsylvania. This is hard to do, but a lot of fun if you succeed.
