21-AUG-2004

08-21-04

For the last few weeks John has wanted me to shoot bubbles for my blue theme; today was the day. This was hard because I had to manually focus, quickly, and keep the camera steady as I did so. I like how the shot turned out. (Of course I wish it had perfect focus.) I like the reflection of our house and the trees.

Note to self: When I try this again I will go for the M setting instead of aperature priority.

Yes the focus it is little soft, althouhgt I think the final image is very nice. I agree with you in this photo, it ihard to get it and you got a nice photo.

This is delightful! I really like the blue-ness of the image, especially in the bubble itself. I dont mind the bubble being our of focus ... it reads that the bubble is in motion ... ! Excellent catch!

Very nice!

Great idea about the Manual focus! Want to try this now!

Nice composition and colors! How fun!

I thought of the Wizard of Oz when I opened this delightful image. The blues are perfect. Yes too the 'M' mode I find easier but too when I set my settings using M I sometimes lose the moment! Guess I should practice more.

Thanks for sharing. Well done.

LOL at Zak. I knew Bubbles and Squeak was some sort of food, I just looked it up and it turned out to be pretty harmless, at least while it is being eaten!

Nice

Very well done, I believe the softness of the bubble blends nicely with the background. Getting a bubble in focus has to be pretty darn tough.

I like it too, Cheryl. It looks like an ornament hanging there.
Zak21-Aug-2004 20:54

Nicely done :-)
