 My daughter blowing bubbles in the yard. I used a telephoto lens to really get a good blur on the background.

I can't believe this picture turned out as good as it did. The original was shot at such a high shutter speed it came out really dark, but Lightroom did an amazing job with the tones. I was just fooling around at this point in the shoot and didn't have the iso or aperture set correctly till a few pics later, but those pics didn't have the bubble focus or blur i was going for. I had to manually adjust focus to a few feet in front of my daughter and snap away hoping to get some good bubbles in focus.

out of a hundred or so shots, i got one!

Very good shot. Like that the most foreground bubble is the one that is in focus, very cool.

Fun bubble shot. The person in the bg adds interest.
