To see a World in a Grain of Sand...

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Erm...I caught the bubble on my finger and took a photo of it...honestly, just like that...the 50mm f1.8 looked after the sharpness. Very little PP, other than a touch of noise reduction (ISO 640 and none too bright location) and a touch of PP sharpening and that's that.

I intend to try this in better locations....in better light so I don't have to PP and I get better reflections.

Cheers

Cunningly simple - wonder what b&W version would look like too?

I didn't do a straight mono, but I did do this...which I quite like...

Very effective Craig - works a treat.
My only suggestion for your next bubble catch would be have the bubble sit on the pad of your finger and give more of a feel to holding it rather than pointing at it.

Agreed.

It ain't easy catching bubbles.

Exsactly. Escher is a favourite of mine...appeals to my mathematical brain. And I love that one in particular.

Maybe not as much as the man in the 3rd picture down on this page:

Definitely something I want to try and have thought about it especially when they spurt out doing the dishes just need the patience
