This time we will try to shoot various patters on the soap bubbles...which looks amazing and colorful.

Tips to take these -

1. Need lots of light reflecting from different angles
2. black background
3. make a bubble solution with 6 part soap and 1 part glecerine to increase strength of shell
4. use small aperture like f10- f16
5. shutter speed of 1/160 is enough if u just want colors...to shoot bursting bubbles u need to be on around 1/2000

I am not...

Tried splash photo project...

I don't think I can get a decent result if I try it indoor with the help of built in flash. So I tried outdoor, in the middle of the day. Sun was too hot... :-x

Set up isn't good...

that is a pretty good shot, just some suggestions, zoom in a bit (or crop the existing pics). Perhaps a lower angle would help you get more of the splash in the image. and I guess you can always push the ISO to 200 and increase the speed a bit more.

I need few things to get it done better.

Light wasn't an issue... There was plenty of light and I can go as high as the max shutter speed in my camera.

nac the 2 things u have to do with the same setup
1. go low on angle , from top there is nothing much to see
2. have a background...keep a black cloth or red or some dark color behind the subject

God!!! I wish I have a weather shield camera. Few days ago when I was trying splash photography, I tried and keep some distance but couldn't avoid water drops falling on my camera and lens.
And again today, I was shooting for splash photography. Flipping water filled bottle in the air and capture the action. I was alone, so have to do the flip and click all by myself.

Urgh!!! water spilled in my camera but this time, a plenty of water. I was little worried at first and wiped the water off of the camera. Luckily it didn't get to the front side of the camera. Camera is functioning fine so far. I don't think I will be dare to take this kinda risk again. :mad:

I just wanna ask you... :twisted: why all the last four projects have to do something with water :)
