Bubble Rip (Storm Wave)
A popping soap bubble. It would be great to record the sound of a bubble popping, slow it down and play it over slow motion footage of a bubble bursting.
I'd trade some light for depth of field here, but I like the shot. The ripping action reminds me of a storm front passing across land. It must be like a wave.
I've taken other bubble popping photos, so have a look in my Bubbles set for more.
I think those tearing streaks form lines. What do you think?
This photo has featured in the UK national press, numerous magazines, and has had mentions on TV (including GMTV and Good Morning America).

Thanks Chris. It took 10 minutes to get this. Whenever the weather's right, we do 5-10 minutes and generally capture something.

Nice one! I kinda thought the streaks were from motion blur, but it's hard to tell. Someone needs to try this with a flash. I like how there are still some reflections left in the bubble, very nicely done!
MLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl [deleted] (36 months ago | reply)
WOW! This is truly amazing! (:
richard.heeks (36 months ago | reply)
Hi suckaface. Yes, I reckon the streaks are partly motion blur too, though I'm not sure how much is motion blur and how much is bubble fragments just hanging there in space. If I get a really bright morning I'll try a faster shutter speed and a touch more ISO, and see what it looks like then. Flash would get rid of the reflections - and I like the reflections - but yes, it could well help to speed up the shutter speed etc.
