I don't mind "clearing the air" in here. People need to know what is going on here. It won't last I imagine this stuff will get cleaned up. In the meantime its good for people to know where everyone stands.

How about bubbles. Bubbles are cheery and innocuous, right?
:wheee:
It was 1° real temp with wind chills in the negative double digits this morning. May as well make something of that, eh?

Okay, screw those last bubble pics, because I'm way happier with the ones I took later in the day. Turns out, sucking it up and trekking into the ravine where the wind wasn't as much an issue was well worth it. Bite me, arctic vortex! *shakes fist*

These are just a handful of my faves. There are quite a few more on flickr.
(And thank you for the kind words about the previous ones!)

Thank you! And absolutely. The recipe for the bubbles is:
6 cups water
1cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
2 cups (16 oz) dishwashing liquid*
In a large bowl (at least 3 quarts) stir water and corn syrup until combined.
Add dishwashing liquid and stir very gently until well mixed. (Try not to make any bubbles.)
Dip (don't stir) bubble wands into bubble liquid and blow bubbles.
..........
I cut it in half and still have TONS left, so I'd modify unless you want to blow bubbles for the next year.
I just used the body of a plastic pen to blow the bubbles through. (A straw was recommended on one website, but I didn't have any..the pen worked fine.
I used my 100mm macro at f/4.5-6.3, but mostly at the tighter end of the range. I wish for even a little more DoF in a few of them, but mostly am satisfied with it.
Good luck!

^Concept is nice, would really benefit from a second light directly behind the camera and about 7-8 feet high, aimed down to knock back those harsh shadows. An angled reflector (whiteboard, etc.) would work too.
Is the book really that big or is it just close to the camera to hide the flash head?

The book is that big..Had a continuous light source on 30% power above camera..About 5 feet up..Should have raised it higher for the shadows..Wanted the impact of the glow coming from Book..Not sure if the shadows were killed would get the same look..Will have to try that next time..Thanks for the input..Book is huge..lol

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
That second set of frozen bubble shots are awesome!
I also like the white Porsche shots - wish they linked back to the Flickr pages so I could comment/fave.

Folks, let's keep the criticisms polite and not insulting, but also please accept criticisms as different people have different opinions. Do so with respect, not insults, try to learn from each other. Please keep the hating and butt hurt out of this thread. Thanks
