Tried again for the B&W Drops/Bubbles challenge. At first, I tried a large aperture in aperture priority and natural light. That led to some interesting light trails. (See my Alternates album). For this image, I put the camera in manual mode with a smaller aperture, faster shutter speed, and a flash.
@farmreporter There are plenty of kids in the neighborhood, but I don't know them now that my kid is grown. I decided to stick with my inner child as the bubble blower.
You managed blowing them AND shooting them? Well done! Though the B&W for me is missing the wonderful oily sheen of rainbow colours you get on bubbles. But perhaps you didn't like them in colour?
@casablanca My camera has a remote connection to my phone. I prefocused about a foot in front of me, and used an f/8.0 aperture to get some depth of field. Then, I held my finger over the remote button as I blew the bubbles. I didn't get it right on the first try.
Well done!
Tim we are partners in this week's get pushed challenge. How about capturing opposites?
