Shooting Bubbles

Photo 22521 Bubbles can make very interesting subjects, especially for close-ups. Reflection and refraction make the photograph of a bubble even more appealing. To shoot a good bubble photograph outdoors, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
Photo 22526 Find a clean background-It should not be distracting, because a bubble is transparent. A single color or monochrome background works best like green leaves. The image below was taken with a foliage background.Choose a less windy day to do this. It gives the camera to focus on the bubble and so it doesn't blow away or burst quickly.It is better use the telephoto end of your lens. Better yet, use a tele lens with a range of 70-100mm, because beyond that camera shake will affect the image. Experiment with all shooting modes-Shutter priority (at 1/125 secs) Aperture priority (f/8) as well as manual mode.

If the wind is not much, anything will work. Shutter speed priority is a good option when you are not sure of the camera shake. Be calm when you shoot. And be patient. If focusing is getting to be tough, find the edge and use that as a point of focus. Take as many shots as possible-you never know which click will give you the best result.
