Bubbles...C&C

#3 & #4 are the same image, with a clarity adjustment.

I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks!

Wow, these are amazing. Did you do any editing? and what type of camera are you using

I am curious as to the setup....not sure if you ate a bunch of crayons and this was in the porcelain throne or what? Kinda neat, I think more can come out of it though, macro of the bubbles and the refracted colors maybe.

Editing was a levels adjustment, and a slight increase in saturation.

Nikon D90.

Actually this is a mostly clear bouncy ball that I bought in Pigeon Forge back in Oct. It is full of a clear liquid, and glitter. The ball itself, is mostly clear, with some colored swirls.

There really wasn't much of a set-up, as I had planned to go for another look. But as sometimes happens, I had a happy accident

I was using the 18-105 kit lens with an extension tube. I simply shook the ball to get the glitter moving. Since there is a very small amount of air inside the ball, when it is shaken rather hard, the one large bubble breaks up into all these small ones.
I had the ball near a sunlit window when I snapped the shot.

The only editing I did was levels and an increase in saturation.

I might try cropping a small portion of the bubbles.

And now that I've seen what this will do, I'm thinking....an off camera flash, tripod & remote, another extension tube to get even closer...

These are amazing...could you kindly give us a picture of what your setup looks like? If you haven't taken it down yet....1 and 3 are my favourite. Wow.
