Popping Bubbles
Sarah's finger is about to pop this bubble (see her on the right!). The early morning light really picks out the minute specks of dust that quickly gather on the bubble's surface - see the edges. I used to think that the dust spoiled the shot, but I'm starting to appreciate it more now.
I'm experimenting with faster and faster shutter speeds lately. It really helps capture the iridescence patterns.
I like this shot. It's kind of strange because I've got great focus and clarity at the edges, but the front centre of the bubble is out of focus, which means, maybe, that the central reflections are coming from the back. I'm not sure about that, but the front is surely out of focus (right?!), so how come you can see me clearly? I like to think I can explain these shots to people (because people ask, and I give answers), but really I just take the photos. Ask the bubble!
