I wanted to try one more idea using LED lights, before looking at another ways of creating effect with photography. I thought that by using coloured LED lights while blowing bubbles would produce an interesting effect. I began with covering my strip lights with clingfilm -so they were not damaged - then blew bubbles above the lights. I used my Nikon camera for this and I was very disappointed with the outcome. The photos did not seem to show any bubbles, just an overpowering coloured light. I do feel my Nikon camera is great to use, but as I have said in a previous blog, it's Strong point does not involve using bright lights. I then tried to take photos with my Sony Xperia smart phone, this also produced a disappointing effect, very similar to my Nikon camera. At this point I felt slightly confused as to why this didn't work, was it the background colour? Were the lights positioned correctly? Would I have been better trying this again in the daytime? I wanted to try one last thing before packing up so I downloaded the 'timeshift burst'!app for my phone. Previously, I have said that I would prefer to take my own photographs than using any help or tricks to change the end result. This time, I decided to use the timeshift burst to give me a better chance of capturing a photo which would work. I felt with the fast falling bubbles, it was better to try a different approach. The photos I have came up with are not as I expected. In my mind, i had envisioned a perfectly round bubble with a variety of single colour tones throughout, this is not what I got. Instead I have ended up with a combination of vibration and movement. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, in some ways it has produced an interesting result with possibilities for other ideas. Here are some of my favourite pics...
