Bubbles. Iris. Don't ask. The best thing about this is that it has a reflection of me in the top bubble.
Bubbles flew at the Harbourfront Center this past weekend as kids of all ages took part in Newmindspace's annual bubble battle.
Eventually Dave was able to get bubbles to form, and then once he did there was a crew of people who helped them travel far and wide.
This week's word, encounter, describes a surprise or unexpected meeting. I knew i was going to use bubbles to create this photo, but I didn't think it would be possible to catch one. Because of this, actually catching a bubble was like an unexpected meeting.
In this picture, my brother caught a bubble in his hands just like he is meeting it. To create this picture, I used a quick shutter speed in order to capture the bubbles before they popped and a f/stop of about f/5 because the place where this photo was taken is very dark. This picture had a few contour lines (the edges of the bathtub) and there's also a warm feel to it because of the lighting. Also, the bubble causes the light to reflect off of it.
Model: Canon EOS 5D mark III; Shutter speed: 1/800 sec; Aperture value: f/2,8; ISO: 2000; Focal length: 100,0 mm; (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM)
This photo was taken when Chloe was about the age Vannah is now. Dragging it up for a bubble photo challenge. Gosh she was cute hehe
The bounce house and other inflatables kept deflating, but they spent some time checking out the bubble machine!
Colourful bubbles at the O2.
The writing is made up of a matrix of tiny lights - the words scroll past quickly, left to right.
This was very strange to photograph. With the naked eye, the text was very bright, clear and easy to read. However, I could not get a photo to reflect the real-life appearance. No matter what I changed (shutter speed, polarizer, viewing angle...) the writing always came out very dim, barely standing out from the background, and so very hard to read. Nothing for it, therefore, than some heavy-handed photoshopping to get it looking 'right'.
Go there, find the bubbles (right inside the main entrance), take some photos and see what I mean. Weird.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the writing appears bright to the naked eye because of some sort of 'vision persistence' effect. However, I couldn't re-create this using a slower shutter speed, so I guess the effect is to do with your brain's perception, rather than a physical optical effect.
