Bubble (with self portrait) in HDR
My wife was blowing bubbles outside with the kids yesterday. I went out to see how they were doing, then decided to go in and grab the camera. I took 20-30 pictures, most of which seemed incredibly ordinary.
This one - with me below the bubble, looking up and away into the trees, was magical. You can see me, the garage, cars, my wife, and other stuff in the bubble if you look :)
Of course this is in HDR, so it looks much better than the standard photo. I am also very happy to get such a good shot with my new lens, the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G.
Raw converted to three 16-bit TIFFs in Nikon Capture NX 2 (compared to the single raw loaded into Photomatix - this is much much better). HDR in Photomatix Pro. Edited in Photoshop.
Taken in shutter priority mode, spot metering.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that this is manual focus.
D200, ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/500 second, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G.
