The return of the bubbles: fourth in the trilogy





Typical! The day a new lens arrives in the post is the day it starts raining. We've had several weeks of superb spring weather, augmented by the total absence of aircraft contrails across the blue sky, but now that I want to get outside in earnest the heavens open.

So I resort, once again, to bubbles. At least they will keep me occupied until the skies clear again, although it won't challenge the lens's capabilities to any degree.

One thing I can confirm with this type of photography (and I think I'm done with this particular subject, now) is: the colour of the washing up liquid I use plays no part in the final outcome of the images (insert winking emoji here).

The weekend promises to have better weather.




105mm f/2.8 DG HSM Sigma macro lens. 1/250 second at f/11. Overhead diffused and arbitrary hand-held slave flashes. Tripod and remote release. ISO 100
