Description

Ok, this was a lot more difficult to do than I thought it would be! I had someone blowing the bubbles while I chased them down with the camera. I took 77 shots and this is the only one that came out really well. Definitely going to do this again! :)


Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 68.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT

Bobby, you outdid yourself. This is superb. There is no way my auto focus could do this. Well done. #1164366

Bobby R. Strange August 05, 2009

Thanks, Dale. I think that was actually the biggest challenge I faced...the autofocus. But I figured the camera could focus quicker than I could manually, so I let it do it's thing :) #7820564

Bobby, this is too funny - I spent my day doing bubble shots too! I am pretty sure I did not get anything this fantastic though! I have not even uploaded them off of my camera... we'll see! #7820662

Thats really cool Bobby, I know from experience how difficult it is to try to get one of these suckers in focus..I'v tried it a couple times but was not nearly as successful as you were with this one.. #7820663

Bobby R. Strange August 05, 2009

Thanks, Deb and Tony.

Deb, it must be National Bubble Day, lol. I'm gonna try something a little different tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Good luck with yours! I'm sure you got something great! :)

Tony, this was definitely difficult, lol. I think I really lucked out today though. The lighting and wind were just right...although a little less wind would have made the whole thing a lot less tiring, lol. But it was still fun! #7820692

Jeanine M. Bailey August 05, 2009

This is SO COOL!!!!! :):):) Looks like fun too!!! I think a couple of shots of you chasing the bubbles would have been pretty fun too!!! :) #7820813

LOL, It took all I had not to try to edit myself out of that bubble! I hate having my picture taken! :) #7820825

I would have loved to see you running around trying to take pictures of these things.
Great capture by the way . . . you can even see the soap swirling around on the bubble. #7821258

Bobby - the 77 shots were well worth it. This is fantastic! #7821534

Debbie E. Payne August 06, 2009

This is really cool, Bobby! I admire you for your creativeness here. To tell you the truth, I don't reallly see you in the bubble; well maybe just a little. I'm with you; I try to keep myself out of that end of the camera! #7823000

Very, very, very cool...that's one more cool than Viks!
I would have never even thought to try this...I so need to get out and shoot ANYTHING!
VERY impressive! #7825077

Bobby R. Strange August 07, 2009

Thanks all! I think next time I'm gonna try to capture different reflections and see what I can come up with. Was a lot of fun the first time around :) #7827798

Christie R. Bielss August 08, 2009

Last up here, but this is REALLY cool Bobby! I love how the reflection is even perfectly in focus. You did a great job of capturing this. These are really, really hard! #7829335
