Hunting For Bubbles
16Jan14
I’ve been hunting for a place where I could use my 6-stop ND filter to capture bubbles in motion and finally found a suitable place while scouting today. Bubbles are a natural occurrence found in Southern New Jersey Pineland’s streams. Prior attempts had been fun practice but the scenes were not quite what I had hoped. Today, I think I got closer to what I have been looking for. The bubbles here were being stirred up by a tiny dam just left of the frame. By using the filter I lengthened the shutter speed to 8 seconds which was long enough to record the swirling blur. I’ll surely be hunting for more bubbles to capture … this was fun!

That’s something else….! love it!
Thanks Dana. Nice to come up with something that doesn’t look like everything else for a change!
I love the blue and white abstract feel to the water. Beautiful.
Thanks Pat … something appropriate following my long exposure techniques workshop!
I love the flow of this image but am particularly enjoying how the foreground is more of an abstraction but the background is a straight up landscape. It’s very beautiful.
Thanks Rich. Had some fun at this place!
Nice, I love abstracts! I’ll give u a 9
Thanks Bob! I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!
I never knew that, and I grew up in the Pinelands region.
Oh … where did you grow up?
Vineland, New Jersey
Nice capture. As I scrolled down on the image, I was more impressed by the lower half of the image. Intriguing abstract. Either way, nice work. What was f stop? I assume you shot at ISO 100. Rich
Thanks Rich. f/16, 8 sec, ISO 200 like the post said, I used a -6 stop ND filter. You need to take a few examine and adjust the exposure to get the amount of blur you are looking for. I probably needed it to be a bit faster and didn’t want to sacrifice depth of field so I boosted the ISO up to 200.
gorgeous!!
Thank you Annie!!!
Living in the tropics your photos are a welcome respite from the humidity. I envy your icy wonderland that you and your camera have captured. My compliments, look forward to following your words through the snow.
Thank you Michael. And, when I’m yearning for summer I’ll come visit your blog … all the way on the other side of the earth. Isn’t technology great?
Those black filters are a lot of fun. Like the spiraling water.
Thanks Terry … yes, lots of fun.
This is so beautiful!
Thank you Isabel. I appreciate you taking the time to come look and leave a comment.
Hi Denise, you kindly commented on my blog so I thought I would visit yours. LOVE this photo, I have a variable ND filter I use for shooting waterfalls but never thought of using it like this so thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Thank you Stacey. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I have to find a handy stream to experiment with but sure will 🙂
I really love this
Thanks Vickie!
