- Wow! Great capture!! - silvia_mozzon
Bubble Pop (Colour and Focus)
When I started out trying to capture a popping bubble, this was pretty much how I hoped it could/would look. Very almost 'job done'!
This shot was featured in the UK national press in July 09 (most of the UK national newspapers), Vanity Fair, Der Spiegel (Oct 09), and in Digital Camera Magazine in October 2009. Has been mentioned on GMTV, and Good Morning America. Very proud!!!!!
This shot probably has the best image quality of all my bubble popping shots. I prefer the composition of my Reflection Perfection shot though, as Sarah's whole hand is in shot.

richard,
These are just great! I love seeing the progression of someone finding an interesting subject, making it almost an obession & taking time to pursue it to near perfection. It would be perfection fro many of us, but I bet you see a few tweeks here & there.
Thanks so much for including your comments. That really helps the rest of us.

Hi Mind Sweep. No, I didn't use an automatic triggering device. We time the pop like the launch of the Space Shuttle (3, 2, 1....) and then I take a burst of shots. I seem to get something good every 5 minutes or so.

Hi Maxwell. I took this on shutter priority, so the aperture took care of itself. Hope this helps.
