Default [PP] Fluid and Bubbles

Photographers Comments
The trick to this shot was not to flood the kitchen. Timing was everything.
But I managed to get a sparkle on the bubbles and the water is clear enough, all with natural light from a sliding glass door.
Was an interesting excercise.

Hi Debbie, difficult one but you pulled it off, only comment would be you seem to have exceeded your max focal length by 70mm! Having done my first PP this morning i found this the most difficult bit remaining within the focal length and getting the shot required. If you look carefully in the tap reflection i am sure i can see you and your tripod!!

Oh, you are right...I thought I had it, thanks for pointing that out.
I guess I overlooked that having taken so many shots and setting things up so many times.
I'll definately try again. I wanted to see if I could get the bubbles more clear anyway. I'll try it again on a brighter day.
Yes, I wondered if anyone would notice me and my tripod. You win!

You are right about that. I like that about these projects...challenges keep the brain working and make us think "outside the box", where we may not have gone otherwise.
No, you weren't too picky at all, I appreciated everything you said.
Nice to see you are having fun with this as well.
Good luck to you.
