Photo: Foam Closeup With Paua Shells

This is a shot I took for the Canon Photo5 competition. It took me a while to set the whole thing up and the bubbles were a lot more challenging than I expected them to be.

I found that the trick was to find somewhere with nice natural light – but not too much. It was a sunny day so I set up the tripod to point at a window and diffused the sunlight with a plastic bag.

Here are a few photos I took on my iPhone to show the setup – and one of me obviously quite pleased with myself.

The rig - Velbon Carmagne carbon fibre tripod with centre shaft inverted, Canon 7D and Sigma 16-250mm @ 250mm.
