 Macro image of bubbles:
I took a champagne flute, filled it 1/4 of the way with apple juice and then up to the 3/4 mark with sparkling water (it tastes nasty so its nice I found another use for it).

I think set my lights and took a fresh clear plastic knife and stirred it up. I left the knife in the glass to give the bubbles something to adhere to as without it they tended to dissipate and with the camera I have it was nearly impossible to get a clear shot of any of the moving bubbles.

I fiddled with the lights and took a trillion shots - or 54 - and this is the one that turned out the best in my opinion. We'll see how it goes.

I really like the left hand side and middle portion of this photo. The lower right is a bit distracting for me, but a very cool bubble shot. Holds my interest more than many of the other entries.

The left side looks a little odd. I might have cropped it out. Still a wonderful shot though.
