Brilliant and fascinating Richard, perfect timing.

This is so interesting, it's cool how you can see the direction that it ruptured in. How they are just specks by the finger but still streaking at the opposite end.

Amazing. How failed shots to get this one?
richard.heeks (36 months ago | reply)
Yes S Bavido, a few failed shots. I'd say 1 in 50 shots are giving me something interesting. We're deliberately popping the bubbles, so it's not very very difficult to time the shot.

DizzyCam (35 months ago | reply)
could u plz tell me how fast shutter did u used, and did u use manualfocus??
richard.heeks (35 months ago | reply)
Hi DizzyCam. The photo properties are all available - see "more properties" (on the right, by the photo). Most of my popping bubble shots are at 1/500 of a second and they're all manual focused. Hope this helps.
DizzyCam (35 months ago | reply)
ok, thank you so much
DizzyCam (35 months ago | reply)
oh, by the way, a u focused on the finger? or just bubbles? i find out quite hard if only focuse on the bubble.
richard.heeks (35 months ago | reply)
I try to focus on the bubble, but it's a bonus if the finger's in focus too. I don't adjust focus - I leave it set and then move myself back and forth to find focus in the viewfinder. It's a technique used by macro photographers, and it seems easier. I just follow the bubble around as it moves.
DizzyCam (35 months ago | reply)
thank you for u help!!!

wow amazing!!! too bad my camera is not fast enough! bummer
richard.heeks (33 months ago | reply)
Hi jaysonk72. Have a look at the properties of this photo. Your D40x could do this easily with a cheap lens. It's all about getting the right weather and lighting. :-)
jaysonk72 (33 months ago | reply)
at 2.5 fps????! it will be challenging. i want a d90=) bored with yours yet?lol

Great!

that's crazy!
Praveen M Tomy (33 months ago | reply)
i just read the article on you in the Digital Camera World Mag here in Sydney and I should tell you.. you have inspired me to try this out ! great job my friend !
richard.heeks (33 months ago | reply)
Good luck Tomy. If the light is good and there's no wind, then it's not so difficult, but it's just rare to get those conditions.
