This is potentially wonderful but the haloing really hurts it.

Simmer : Ecliptic — 2005

The bubbles are caught in the stage just before they break loose from the bottom, so movement is minimal, and minimalized further by the fact that we're looking nearly straight down on them. Since I use only "found light" (it's a matter of principle right now) and since I needed DOF, and since my camera is VERY noisy at anything but ISO 100, I just shot a lot of exposures at 1/4 second, actually underexposing the shot) and chose the one with the least movement.

I too am surprised this didn't do better. IMHO this is a very creative take on the challenge, showing somethign few people bother to look at closely (my glorification of the banal concept). Still, it has no color and it has no in-your-face eye-appeal, so I gues that's askign a bit much.

Thanks to all commenters.

Hell of a shot, but for what it's worth this ain't "rafting", it's kayaking. Not deducting for that...
