Bubble burst moment

I was aiming for a good bubble image with this and about 100 other shots today but it just didn't happen. If you click on this one and view it full size, though, you'll see from the hundreds of tiny droplets that I've luckily caught the moment a bubble burst. Thankfully, Marni has a vaguely suitable expression on her face too. So this one will do I think.

Odd bubble-blowing gizmo

Day three and I've cheated again! This was taken yesterday but I didn't get round to posting it because we had houseguests and were having far too much fun to do geeky things like feeding a blog. This is one of many weird and wonderful machines made by Circus Kinetica, a Brighton-based arts collective who make amazing things out of stuff they find lying around. They've converted the basement of Embassy Court, a landmark building on Hove seafront, into a workshop and this is the kind of stuff that emerges from it. It's inspiring stuff - typical Brighton. I do love living here...
