Bubblicious

Lately I've been doing alot of "unconventional" photos to get me out of my photo funk! Gives me a new perspective.

Anyway here are a couple of experimental shots.

That funk must be something going around Tyger. I got it so bad I set up a light box this winter.

Are these bubbles in water shot from the top? Nice idea.

LOL! Hey dude...been awhile hasn't it? I've just started browsing the bird forums again. Man I haven't been out shooting too much these days, but I've been learning a lot about lighting since I'm focusing more on portraits.


Anyway, I read this on one of popular photography's mags last year using oil and water in one of those glass baking pans. I put news paper underneath with some various colors. I had one strobe light from above to light the scene. Lastly I used Kenko extension tubes with my Tammy 28-75mm.

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Yeah, it's been a long while. Glad your back. I never quite got use to the cold this winter and have pretty much stayed inside for most of it. I have learned a lot about light from using a light tent, and then a home made lightbox. I love it. It's impossible to take a badly exposed shot when you can control the light.

Excellent photos, all of them!

yes, excellent photo! Man...I need to learn about light immediately!
Are you taking classes (school or online) or just reading from a book?

I like the last one best, nice work

Thanks all!

Jackie, I read everything online and books. The lighting was really simple, just a strobe with shoot through umbrella directly over a glass baking pan. Oil and water used and a Food Basics flyer underneath. I used my Tamron 28-75mm with Kenko extension tubes.

always liked "bubble art"
