Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #204 'Bubbles'
'Bubbles'
Bubbles, spheres, symbols of perfection. Sometimes, I see all of us as bubbles. Big bubbles, small bubbles, happy bubbles, sad bubbles, this bubbles, that bubbles. Bubbling together in this huge beautiful world where no person is an island. And, even though each one of us follows his/her own straight line up to the top, each one of us needs help from the others. There is no single person who can help everyone in their ways. But if everyone helps someone, we'll be much further down the road to real humanity.
The softly toned composition of predominantly cyan and blue is deliberately done in the cold part of the spectrum. Its coldness corresponds with the liquid medium in which the bubbles are. Notice the light shape in the middle of the picture. It very nicely divides the image and gives it spatial depth. At the same time, the bubbles are perfectly visible on top of it. The dark parts in the background, appearing to be branches of a tree, define the low end of tonality curve, adding the only partially uneasy moment. Without it, the photograph would feel too empty for my taste.
The use of the depth of field is crucial in this macro photograph. Soft focus plays an important role. It helps distinguish the bubbles from the background, emphasizing their importance at the same time. The colours softly blend into each other. There are no abrupt changes. The overall softness defines the mood and lets us relax and just observe.
So, are you a bubble holding on the side or the one going up? Both have their merits. :D
Enjoy!

i wonder what has come to you first? Is it the though or the photograph? Because it radiates everything what you have discussed in the post.Excellent work!!!!
-cheers-
That's an awesome question. Usually, they come at the same time but at other times I search for the photo in the surroundings when I already have a thought.
Brilliant. Thank you @velimir.
Anytime away from your blog is like a treasure thrown in the sea. There is a lot from this post.
I love the photography and message
Well well well, bubbles! I was trying to get your mindset while describing us as different types of bubbles. Very true indeed. I noticed that bubbles encourage head turning – right, left, up and down, movements that are needed to help us see life and kinds of people from different perspectives. We just need to see what areas we can add positivity to our different lives. If you are a happy bubble, then use your smile and brighten up a sad bubbles day, we are all here for each other. An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves. Most of the people I have met through unexpected circumstances are now some of the most important people in my life. Meeting people is all part of human nature, we're social creatures designed to be around one another. When you decide to reach out and help out you can find the most amazing things, you meet the most amazing people, and you can end up in places you never thought you would. @velimir can testify to this in his Motorcycle travel series :)) where he meets new people everyday and he likes talking to new people too. Great post my friend. Have a nice one.
With a bubbling image, people have bubbling expectations. However, because the bubble is a reality, even deceptive, then people will enter in disappointment. The bubbling hope will ultimately lead to a big disappointment, because hope is far from being there. On the other hand, if we pay attention to the news in the mass media, it will feel what the bubble of negativity is, namely over-reporting of what is negative. This bubble of negativity, if not covered with a critical attitude, we will see the world also with a cynical and negative attitude. Negative thinking is the beginning of negative action. That is, the bubble of worldly news negativity will also produce a bubble of view negativity, which is likely to encourage negative acts, or ignorance. The bubble of negativity will also produce a bubble of disappointment, which ultimately keeps people from moving to improve things.
so interesting to read that how you have stared from bubbles and take the story to the humanity..you shows the beauty of humanity through your words :)
I actually am having mixed feelings looking at those bubbles - on one hand - those are bubble - full of air that makes them soar to the skies but also so fragile that they may burst every second with the lightest touch.
As you mentioned - the lighting in the picture also plays the same rule, it may flow into each other but still - there are dark and light fields in the picture, even in the lighter part - the bubbles themselves stay pretty dark.
We may now think about life - how we can rise up and up, feeling and being so successful- yet, there is always the subcurrent of the unconsious, fearing that with a snap of a finger - their success will be shown as nothing but a fragile, temporary situation - we can see that in the most lightened part of the picture, the bubbles are the darkest, just like when a person has more and more success - this fear seeps into him all the more.
We can also see the fear of the passing time in this picture - the bubbles rise and rise, but with time - they all will tear up and vanish - just like in life, time conquers every human being.
So what should we do? Be good! As velimir said - no person is an island, and collaborating with other, making good things together and advancing the world will leave it's mark on the world long after we are gone, and that eternal.
Thanks for the picture and thoughts dear velimir!
I will give a comparison with the bubbles that are formed in carbonated water - bubbles of air :)
If you represent people in the form of bubbles, you can easily say that people, like bubbles, tend to go up. This is peculiar to people. And they are like bubbles throughout their entire existence - all their lives to strive upward, to strive for the best.
Bubbles like people differ from each other. They differ in size, size, speed of movement. Some of them are in the center of attention - others remain unnoticed on the side.
They are all different, but move upwards. Some move faster, some slower, but they rarely intersect - so they can not afford to help each other. Occasionally, they can be connected - like lovers who are truly in love who become one purpose - who become a family.
Anyway, the travel of bubbles is not infinite and in the end they all turn into a single whole. Will merge with their bubble universe :)
All bubbles believe in the fact that above them there is bliss - in one word paradise. But still no one could return from there and tell - is it really so :)
Thank you,
Goodnight:)
Both have their merits indeed! It is interesting to me how one of my works and this one yours have similar content but in different mediums and different/similar aspects. I love your view of bubbles and would appreciate and I'm so curious what is your opinion of mine bubbles! (although they are the same) :) You can take a look at my work here : https://steemit.com/art/@megy.fine.arts/large-format-drawings-bubble-struggle-100x70cm

It was not my intention to do any of that concisely and I'm sorry if it looks like on that path! I appreciate your contribution for the community!
:) just amazed at your thoughts :)
Helping others will allow us to see how difficult is the life for those who need our help.
we always see rich people, want to become like them, want to succeed like them, This thing will make arrogant.
but if we see people who are below us , We'll never become arrogant.
Always help poor:) by helping them you'll get happiness:)
perfect picture for today's weather where I am... all I see is bubbles
I like the rain drops that summon up on glass maybe a side window glass ,when they take their shape the sphere which is perfect , the images that it casts are best.
when a person takes a macro-photograph bringing focus on symmetrical spheres like diamonds sparkling with every ray that passes through it. these drops bring the whole view into them , like a drop carrying a knowledge of universe, it looks perfect , guess different colors of nature.
