The winning photos of Batch 8 2009 Basic Photography Workshop have been posted in the Gallery. Top places went to Razielle Ann L. Dionisio in the Portrait category and Butch Bandolon in the Still Life category.
Bubbles last only for a few moments due to their delicate nature. They represent something that is beautiful yet very fragile. In this photo, Butch Bandolon captured that short moment with the bubbles in their beautiful state. Shot with a Canon EOS 50D, 1/125 sec shutter speed, f/8 aperture, ISO 3200.
Butch Bandolon took the top spot in Still Life for his winning entry “Bubbles,” in the 5-Sunday photo seminar. He used only basic materials and simple techniques to produce his extraordinary image.
“I used an ordinary dishwashing liquid soap mixed with water in a glass to create the bubbles,” he explains. “I used a lamp shade as my source of light. I layered it first with white paper so I can diffuse the light, then with some blue cellophane for the color. I placed the glass with bubble solution on top of the lampshade and focused on the lowermost layer of bubbles hence the textured reflection on it.”
