Bubble Shock
I blew a little bubble inside the main bubble. The little bubble then fell through the bottom of the main bubble, and put this shock through the bubble. Caught the moment nicely!
How to best describe it? It like a bubble convulsion! A major bubble wobble!
I wouldn't have guessed that this process would cause all those droplets in the air. I suppose it must have!
I'm actually surprised at the sheer amount of shock that goes through a bubble when it convulses like this. I've photographed bubbles popping, and it's more of a disintegration of the surface than an explosion. Or so I thought. Sometimes I could swear that the droplets from a bubble seem to also jump out like an explosion. In this shot the convulsion seems to act a bit like an explosion, as is kind of evident from the droplets firing outwards. Those droplets actually reward close viewing, so feel free to look at the large and full size images.
I often get asked for the details/stats for these shots. You can find them in the EXIF, but the critical stat is probably that it's 1/500th of a second. Not incredibly fast, but fast enough to show you something you wouldn't see with your naked eye. I love 1/500th for bubble shots because the droplets look like streaks. Go much faster and the droplets become a smaller part of the shot.
Yep! Nice!
