Against a Dark Background

© R Heeks 2010. Strictly no use without permission.

I upload bubble photos for different reasons. Some are dramatic, some are beautiful, some have clarity, and some just stand as cases of lessons learned. This is a lesson learned, of dark and light.

The light was not great for bubbles yesterday evening (when I took this), but the air was very still, and that gave me chance to experiment with hanging bubbles in the doorway. See my patio door here!!!

The white rim to the bubble gives this an unreal look. This is a real bubble though. Only editing is a slight lift on curves and one sharpen.

    Great shot Richard, I like the way the patio doors are helping to frame the bubble and reflected and distorted in it as well. Nice one.
