Shot in place. As described above, I caught them on the bubble wand and placed them on the deck rail. What little wind there was carried them towards the warmth of the house and away from where I wanted them, and they weren't freezing in time anyway. I'm told by a friend on FB that a simple syrup (karo, sugar water) will aid in the bubble freezing more quickly, which means next time I might get some whole. It will help to have someone blowing them for me as well instead of trying to blow and shoot. They lasted about 5 minutes before the wind blew them from their spots.
