Blowing Bubbles

I am trying out that cheap 50mm 1.8 (I think it is euphemsitically called "Nifty Fifty"). I have borrowed it from a friend. This is straight out of the camera, no PP. Not that I know how to do that any anyways. I had a few more from that day I wanted to post but I am staying under the two picture minimum .

These are really nice. I love pictures of kids being kids.

Don't you just love the dof of that lens?

You've done very well on these, they really don't need much if any PP, exposure and focus appear spot on.

Keep them coming.

I have one of these lenses and while it's great, with such a narrow DOF you have to be really spot on with the focus. Yours are pretty spot on so well done.

I do agree that the bubble over the eye is distracting, but the idea is good. If you can get the same affect of brokeh with the bubble off centre then it's a winner!!

Hope you like Nifty and end up buying one.

I have tried photographing bubbles and I've pretty much failed without Post Proccessing. I actually like #2 a lot but yes the bubble over the eye is distracting, if you have a cleaner shot of a bubble and know anything about comping photos together I would suggest adding a crisp outline of another bubble in that spot. I think the shot would really benefit.

Hope you don't mind but here's my pudgy baby bubble shot...and yes I had to comp in some bubbles, otherwise they were to sparce and looked silly.

Very cute baby! Thank you both for your comments. yeah, that DOF is shallow. I had a few shots from that "session" that were not usable. On some the eyes were in focus but the ears were not. I was trying to push the lens so that was okay with me.

I guess I will just have to try more pics of bubbles
