Bubbles on water




Inspired by Scott Clarke, I went out today to photograph bubbles on water.
I loved Mr Clarke's colour photos of soap bubbles but thought that they
would work well in monochrome as well. I photographed these with the intention
to turn them into black and white images but when I saw the results... I was in
dubio. I like the effects of both. Hence my decision to post both versions here.


Please check out Scott Clarke's work, the origin of my inspiration:

A very inspiring gallery for me, Kees. I want to make a picture similar to this with a reflection on a bubble. Would love to experiment on this.

I'm so glad I took the time to pop in. This is an amazing gallery. Message in a bubble. If Jim Croche had seen this he might have changed the title to his famous song. I am fascinated not only by the effort and the technical level here but the imagination in each shot and what is shown inside the bubbles. VVVVV

Hello Kees. I do not know if you were a "Star Trek" fan, but I believe this the author was referring when he said, "to search out new worlds and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has ever gone before." I very much enjoyed this journey where you combined terrific technical skills with a most fertille imagination. All my best, Michael.

Wow. Now these are really neat, a great example of thin film interference.

Great idea. I prefer this version in colour. Voted.

Nice to this this in popular again Kees. Hope all is well.
Guest 03-May-2006 13:24
Love the Bubbles!! Vote:)

Hi Kees....have spent quite a while browsing the bubbles both in colour and monochrome.
Both versions are beautiful - the colour being more light hearted and hopeful, with the monochrome more peaceful and contemplative. If I HAD to choose though, for me, it would be the black and white....then again, the brighter colours and reflections...hmmmmmm..LOL

You get my vote for this! Beautiful and delicate colors (yes, I prefer the colors) great graphics and compositions. Not to mention what it took to make it happen! Great Work!
Guest 25-Feb-2006 01:54
Wow, these are astounding !
Jim Ross23-Feb-2006 21:17
Superb, i know how hard it is to capture buubles...

The 70-200 f2.8L is a great lens but in all honesty, nothing beats the 50mm F1.8. The 70-200 f2.8L is a fast lens and a heavy beast. It is great but I am not sure if it is really a lens worth having if you are not shooting professionally as it is a very expensive lens... unless you can find it as a bargain on the second hand market.
Guest 22-Feb-2006 20:18
Another really nice gallery well done. I see you have the 70-200 f2.8L lense i was thinking of getting that lense my self would you recommend it??
Buz Kiefer21-Feb-2006 23:56
You're right; both are very strong photos. Enjoyed both galleries.
scott clarke19-Feb-2006 23:59
Hey Kees, A very good first effort. For me they work best in color but I have done the odd one in B&W. Good job, I know it is harder than it looks. Thanks for letting me know of this gallery. Regards!
