This is all nice but i want to freeze the drops of "Rain" on a lake ! I cant bring a lake home nor time Mother Natures drop ?! 😂 😂 No videos on this ?!
Thank you Stewart. Just wanted to say I would have enjoyed your video so much better, if it were not for the sound......your voice is echoing and makes it hard to understand what you are saying. It's almost as if you are talking in a empty room.
interesting ideas; but, dude, the audience needs to be able to see what you're doing when you're moving glasses around so we know why. You explained stuff we can't see
Hi Stewart, love the video, have tried this with flowers with different layers of water and it all seems to go well until I the end when a big bubble of air starts moving around in the ice . Can you help please.
Hi Stewart, great video with some very useful information and some amazing shots. I perform with bubbles and can give you a couple of pointers..... 1 - when you put your bubble juice into the bottom of the cup and or your lens cap.... make sure the edges are wet. It'll help your initial bubbles not to pop when they get to the dry edges. 2 - Also make your straw wet most of the way up. It'll help not to pop the bubble as the bubble grows and 'climbs' up the straw. Instead of using the bottom of a cup, or a cap, you can make a circle out of very thin (black) wire. Make the circle in the middle of the wire and bring the ends round and twist together so it's like a handle. This handle you can then clamp in a stand. Make sure you wet the wire circle and a bit of the handle. You'll have a few options available to you then. - You can use the circle like a bubble wand and have a soap film (or disc) . With this in the vertical position you'll get a flat disc with some awesome bands of colour. The various colours show how thick the film is. - With the circle in the horizontal position, and a soap film in it, you can blow a bubble dome on the top part and it'll look like a half planet. - If you blow a bubble dome as described above, you can also blow a dome (it'll be upside down) on the underside of the wire circle too. Get the two domes the same size and you'll have, almost, a perfect spherical bubble. ...A complete bubble planet :-) I hope the above info is of use to you, and anyone else reading this that is interested in bubble photography. Please feel free to get in touch if you wish. Thanks again for a superb video :-) Kind regards - Damian Jay from the Believe-A-Bubble show
Great advice Brett, I used to use one myself for some of my zooms but I had a friend with a medical issue which meant they struggled to hold the camera still and could not use a tripod, so I gave it to them and have never got around to replacing it.
This was a fun project to help pass the time while at the same time making gorgeous photos. can you give me some feedback and tips based on the photos i got in this link??? drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1EeypZXP46DrZie-X7IdDDjmQG3NmbyIG
If you had a bigger soft box and put it farther away you wouldn’t get the hot spot on the top with the dramatic fall off on the sides due to the inverse square law
Ensure that your large light source is as close as possible because that's where the colours will be reflected from. If it is large enough and powerful enough it should overpower any other reflection
Brillant, Stewart. I like the clear explanations from beginning (how to get the liquid) until the end (final picture). That helped a lot, thanks from Germany.
Yeah...not getting the marble effect and I have a real hard time getting one huge bubble. On the flip side, I get completely different shots with color gels.
Hi Syed, I was using 3 different cameras here. The two fuji cameras I was using the Fuji XC 50-230mm f4.5-6.7 & 16-50mm Lens. On the Canon I was using a sigma 150-500mm lens
