I live with my family in the woods in the north of Sweden. As soon as the temperature drops below a minus 15 degrees Celsius you will find me and my four year old daughter outside blowing soap bubbles.
She discovered that the bubbles are freezing whilst flying when she was outside playing in the cold. She asked me to take some pictures because she thinks that they are looking like unique diamonds floating around her.
It has to be colder than a minus 15 degrees (colder is better). You need a clear, sunny sky with just enough wind to keep the bubbles long enough in the air but not to much wind otherwise they are gone.
I do not consider myself a very talented photographer but living in an area where this rare weather conditions can appear once or twice a year gives me the opportunity to capture this phenomenon.

I've shot lots of stationary frozen bubbles at night with strobes but it never even occurred to me to run around shooting floating ones. Great idea! (And if you want more than 2 opportunities to shoot in minus 15 to minus 35, move to Canada ;-P). Great photos!

Thank you! I did stationary frozen bubbles too. But I like the challenge that you can't really control the flying bubbles. As you said you literally are running around to get a good shot. This year we had about 5 to 6 days with the right weather conditions. It is not only low temperature but also wind and sunshine that has to be right. Greetings from Sweden. M.
