WaveMan Bubbles

Another shot from the northern Oregon coast. It was darn near impossible to keep my shadow reflection out of the bubbles, so I finally gave up trying and just got into it (literally :D ).

100mm macro, single hand held (a tripod reflection would have been just what I needed, don't ya think?). Besides they were short-lived, and breaking as I was setting up. There's some blurring in the upper part, apparently due to camera tilt, even after sharpening, but I'm reluctant to add more at this point.

    I'm with Andy. That's an awesome shot! It actually sort of reminds me of iPod advertisements. (with the shadow of you in the color)

    it really turned out nicely. Like above, I really like how you made the most of the reflection and turned it fun! It's also neat that the reflection varies in the different bubbles. Overall, just a great, cool shot clap.gif
