A couple of bubble-blowers

[GardenersHelper]

These were captured hand-held on May Day in our garden with an FZ330 bridge camera and Raynox 150 with KX800 twin flash. All used f/8, equivalent to f/45 on full frame in terms of DoF and loss of sharpness from diffraction. The raw files were batch processed in DXO Optics Pro and Silkypix Developer Pro, with image-specific adjustments in Lightroom. There are 1300 pixel high versions in this album at Flickr.

Thank you all for your positive comments.

Graham - the odd thing is I seem to see them quite often. Not every day, but not at all unusual. Perhaps it is simply because I photograph flies so much; they are probably what I photograph most (apart from flowers).
