How do You like the...
Setting? There really is no setting, just water. The background is nicely blurred so all you see is the shapes.
Angle? The angle is perfect.
Use of space/Cropping? I like how it has spaces between the bubbles. I dont think more bubbles would improve it, imo.
Colors? The color is fantastic, it looks cool, clear, and refreshing.
Lighting? I think I loved the lighting best of all. The reflections make them look like irregular glass marbles. Really must see this one in full view to appreciate the 'thick wall' look to them. Its almost crystal looking.
Focus? perfect
Contrast? brilliant
Borders? The black is reflected in the bubbles making the border work very nicely with the image. It helps the blue colors dramatically. Nothing else would work quite as well.

Could I make a suggestion for improvement? Not a chance!

Virkistävän erilainen vesikuva, tykkään kovasti. Käytitkö salamaa vai suoraa valonlähdettä (puhkipalaneet heijastukset vain osuivat silmään, kuva olisi vielä parempi pehmeämmillä heijastuksilla)

patu- In reply to Iliuthenin [2005-12-27 10:46:33 +0000 UTC]

Salamaa jouduin käyttämään. Juuh. Puhkipalaminen ja voimakkaat heijastukset ovat aina salaman kanssa kuvatessa ongelmallisia. Toivottavasti saisin tänä vuonna panostettua tuohon valaistuspuoleen enemmän

This is amazing. I don´t understand what it is... It is water... bubbles? How have you taken this kind of picture?

Water is very beautiful element. Light in this picture is the most beautiful thing in this. The way water reflects it .

patu- In reply to iontee [2005-10-03 13:00:34 +0000 UTC]

kiitos. Pitäisi vielä joskus yrittää kuvata tuo uudestaan, vähän erillaisella idealla. Oon pitkään suunnitellut tälläisen kuvan ottoa ja yrittäny tehdä sopivia kuplia saippuasta ja kaikesta muusta mahdollisesta. Kerran sitten kaupungilla kävellessäni näin erään suihkulähteen muodostavan tuollaisia kuplia. eikun kuvaamaan. Piti vain olla tarpeeksi nopea suljinaika ( 1/2000 sekunttia) ja sitten käytin salamaa. Sininen sävy on saatu aikaan valkotasapainoa säätämällä.

Very short shutter speed 1/2500 second and flash because those bubbles were moving such fast. Then I just start focusing the surface and waiting when bubbleheap come right place.

BethanyH In reply to patu- [2005-09-11 19:57:48 +0000 UTC]

That sounds really cool....but how did you have the water set up? I mean, how did you make the bubbles?

patu- In reply to BethanyH [2005-09-18 07:38:52 +0000 UTC]

This is very funny because I have been tried make good loolikg bubbles very long but it have been very hard. Then once when I was walking in the center I noticed one fountain which made really good looking bubbles. Only problem was that those bubbles move very fast so I had to use very short shutter speed and flash.

You are the undisputed master of hydrophotography. I love the clarity and hue of this one, it's so fluid yet crystaline. The sharpness of the focus and the highlights really make this one POP.

I will.Thanks.

I don't have much choice because in finland military service is mandatory. It's mandatory but I wanted to join because I think that it is my obligation. It takes 6, 9 or 12 months, depending on the duty they've either chosen or someone has chosen for them, then you can also do non-military service ( 12 month).

not bad, only in the U.S. you don't have to go into the military, which is a good thing

OK. In Finland it's mandatory because we have only 5 million citizens.

diamondie [2005-09-04 19:07:17 +0000 UTC]

I really like the way the bubbles turned up, they almost look like translucent stones or something. Good focus and lighting and a beautiful shade of blue, of course. The composition would probably work better if it was less symmetric and more focused on a certain point, but it works surprisingly well as it is, for some reason.

The frame is nice, I'm not that keen on the font though. It's a body text font, not a title font. I believe that all caps might look better.

Somasorsa [2005-09-04 12:05:39 +0000 UTC]

Really cool shot, I love how the bubbles glitter. There are so many shades of blue in this, that looks great. The focus is a bit too much in the bottom, I think it would look nicer if the sharpest part was in the middle. Great work, good contrasts and good choice of borders
